I would like to clarify something. The network's coverage is from Penetanguishene to Toronto and from Peterborough to Windsor. Jean-Gilles would have a job for life is he decided to go to all these communities and try and get community centres built. The problem is that nobody wants to travel 75 kilometres in order to get information only to have to turn around and come all the way back. So, we really need to multiply and set up similar centres in our communities.
When it comes to laying the ground work, our greatest achievement, in my opinion, was making federal and provincial politicians aware that there are in fact Francophones outside Quebec, that we form a vibrant community and that we will continue to fight in order to get health care services in French.
I moved to Ontario 25 years ago; at that time, schools were a big problem. We were sent off to the schools the anglophones were not interested in. Students with problems were taught in the broiler room. I am not making this up: there really was a table in the boiler room, and that is where the children were taught. So, we really have come a long way in this regard since the French-language Services Act was passed in Ontario 20 years ago. We are now at the stage where time has come to deal with the health care issue. We sit back and watch astronomical sums of money being spent on health care. We need to make sure that some of this money flows down to francophones.
So that was our greatest achievement, and our biggest challenge is staying the course.
