Madam Speaker, the member is always interesting to listen to; I like his style. The member mentioned the 4.4% target, and I know in my riding of Port Moody—Coquitlam there is a strong francophone community, but a lot of the older generation are moving away and moving out. The young people, the kids, are the ones who want to learn French, and their parents want them to learn French. We had difficulty finding a school like École des Pionniers. We actually had to move outside of the community, because we could not get support for the French school in our community. How does the federal government propose to support young immigrant children who are coming and would like to take up French in provinces outside of Quebec?
