Over the next five years, spending will rise to $42 million a year, Mr. Sorbara said. Highlights of the long-term plann- • ing for this initiative include: five- year plans to further improve univer- sity and college programs and ser- vices in French and a significant in- crease in start-up and in extra - formula support. for post -secondary French langua[e programming. Part of this initiative includes the finalization of an agreement between Ontario and Quebec that would allow qualified Ontario students to study at selected schools in Quebec. Some of the programs targetted include den- tistry, pharmacy. speech pathology and audiology along with Master's programs in social work and nursing: In additon, a new program to be called "Operation Education" will be launched to encourage more young Franco-Ontarians to pursue educa- tion at the post -secondary level. Mr. Sorbara said these changes will be implemented on an expanding basis over the five year life of the plan. "The Ontario'Government believes the provision of greater opportunities for Franco-Ontarians to -study in the French language will bring enormous benefits to the individuals and to the communities in which they live and work." Mr. Sorbara said. Town Topics "Did I betray my Lord?" was the title of the poem read by Olive Thom- son to open the Easter meeting of the Exeter U.C.W.
