Under section 23 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, there are several sections about the provision of schooling in French or English. In both of these major clauses regarding the rights of our linguistic minorities, they talk about the right of people to have instruction in their language in that school, but also they talk about the rights to have minority language educational facilities provided under public funds. In both cases, they talk about where numbers warrant. In the case of extension of grades, you said you've done it with nine students. In the case of implementing the requirements of this charter provision, what numbers do you use before you decide to build something so people can have instruction in French?
