Replace public schools with the free market?

No, no immigrants, just French->English and English->French.



Yeah, I'm fine with people sending their kids wherever they want, the existing restrictions are kind of dumb. I'm not familiar with the system in Quebec, I'm more familiar with the K-12 system in Nova Scotia - children are only permitted to attend French schools (as opposed to immersion) if they have a parent or grandparent whose first language is French, which seems like a dumb restriction.

Same, in reverse, here. All provinces are obeying their constitutional obligation (to provide the minority language with a school system in their own language) and don't want to pay for people who do not have that constitutional right to use it so go no further.
