Absolutely, and I understand you perfectly well. We believe that the organizations need basic funding because the work that remains to be done is manpower training and economic diversification work. For that, we need quite strong Francophone communities to fight assimilation.
I'll give you a concrete example. We need 60,000 workers in the mining and forestry sectors in Ontario's High North region, from Hearst to New Liskeard to Timmins. We don't have those workers. They aren't trained. We need a Francophone community college focusing on trades in Timmins, which would be a regional centre. We don't just want to train workers, but entrepreneurs as well. The worker for the twenty-first century isn't just someone who knows a trade; it's someone who can start up a business. We need to create these winning economic conditions so that our young people can live in solid cultural communities. This culture will enable them to develop the economic aspect. We didn't talk about tourism or value-added on the Francophone side. You can't do that any more simply by means of a model. We believe that the organizations in the field have a responsibility to make requests. They have to be sufficiently funded so that they can find the right government programs and work in partnership with the private sector, as we've done in order to survive. We're asking that those who play the game have the means to play it.
