Jason Kenney and the UCP government should fulfill its commitment to support Campus Saint-Jean instead of going to court to defend its attacks on Francophone education in Alberta.

On Monday, the Association canadienne-française de l’Alberta (ACFA) announced it would pursue legal action against the UCP Government and the University of Alberta for breaking the 1976 funding agreement for the French-language campus.
This follows a series of deep budget cuts and documents released by CBC French revealing several academic restructuring scenarios currently under consideration would lead to the permanent closure of Campus Saint-Jean.
The Alberta NDP Caucus voices its support for the ACFA’s lawsuit and renews its call for the UCP to reverse its decision to slash funding to post-secondary education in Alberta.
Campus Saint-Jean is critical to Franco-Albertan culture and the advancement of the French language in Alberta. It is the only French immersion-based program in Western Canada, ensuring inclusion of global Francophones in the economy & training of French language teachers.
