Being very sensitive to this issue, I simply will not support this amendment.
In my experience, allowing a government to have a head start is not fair for linguistic minorities, because it has many resources when it goes before the courts.
I would have been unable to receive services in French if this program had not existed when I was 14 years old, and later on, when my child was born at Montfort Hospital. I understand that Québec's reality is different, but I cannot support this amendment for that specific reason, which has been so important to my community.
