FWIW, I think learning a second language and learning it well is a valuable asset that does have the potential to enrich a person's education and provide them with additional opportunities, I just don't think that it should be made compulsory when the education system we have is appallingly underfunded with cutbacks being made right now as this Bill is being put before Parliament. How can they possibly expect it to work when there is no support for the system we do have? They sure don't support it otherwise they would be throwing money at it, not taking it away.
