Le ministre Jean-François Lisée rencontrera les présidents des commissions scolaires anglophones


Lorsque le nouveau gouvernement du Parti Québécois a pris le pouvoir au début de septembre, nous avons adressé nos meilleurs vœux de réussite à la première ministre, Pauline Marois.

Nous avons aussi commenté la nomination de Jean-François Lisée au poste de ministre responsable de Montréal et de la communauté anglophone et mon message était le suivant : « Nous avons hâte de rencontrer M. Lisée pour savoir quels gestes concrets seront posés par son gouvernement pour développer les relations avec les anglophones. Entre 2007 et 2017, la CSEM prévoit perdre plus de 4 600 élèves ou 20 pour cent de son effectif scolaire alors que les commissions scolaires francophones de l’île de Montréal accuseront une croissance de 18 000 élèves, soit 13 pour cent pour la même période. Notre réseau anglophone a souffert des dommages considérables. »

Vendredi dernier, j’ai reçu un appel du bureau de M. Lisée demandant une réunion avec moi-même et Madame Suanne Stein, ma confrère de la Commission scolaire Lester-B.-Pearson. Je dois avouer que nous avons été enchantés par cette invitation. Nous rencontrerons M. Lisée au siège social de la CSEM, sur l’avenue Fielding, à NDG, le 1er octobre en après-midi.

                                                                                                          
M. Lisée est aussi le député nouvellement élu de la circonscription de Rosemont qui fait partie du territoire de la CSEM.


Voici une copie du communiqué de presse que nous avons  publié après les élections.

Angela Mancini
Présidente
