Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Official Languages committee Yes, but it is important to point out that this is not always the case with all the provinces. Sometimes, the agreement states that discussion with the parents is necessary, but it does not say which stakeholder represents the parents.

Official Languages committee Since I don't have the document in front of me, it is a little hard for me to respond. However, I would say that, in general, we are living with the agreements, the OLEPs, as we have called them for several years. So we have a good understanding of them. That's sort of our frame

Official Languages committee It all depends, of course, on the consultation process put in place by the province during negotiations with the federal government. However, I must say in passing that every provincial member of Canadian Parents for French wants to be part of the consultation process. We like be

Official Languages committee It all depends on the reporting system that each province or territory has. I can use British Columbia as an example. We must not forget that, under the current agreement, school boards receive 82% to 85% of the funding set out in the agreement. The funds are sent to the school

Official Languages committee Thank you. As Ms. Perkins began to say, our brief to the committee provides an overview of French second language education in Canada and contextualizes long-standing CPF recommendations on how to improve current FSL programs, when children should be introduced to FSL programs,

Official Languages committee Thank you. Bilingualism Rocks was presented in a number of communities in British Columbia and Yukon, and during its second year, in Alberta.

Official Languages committee I agree with you.

Official Languages committee It must also be said that some provincial policies prevent a child who is taking courses or training in English as a second language from signing up for a program of French as a second language. So the two priorities are being set up in competition, which is a real shame, in our

Official Languages committee I'll try to be brief.
