Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to talk about francophone groups within indigenous communities. It's somewhat related to my colleague's question.
What measures are your departments implementing to ensure that there is no language-based discrimination and that indigenous organizations receiving the funding they are entitled to can in turn offer francophone communities the documents they need to participate in consultations on issues of interest to them?
Can you tell us whether indigenous communities are eligible for Canadian Heritage programs that exist for these purposes, and provide us with a written list of those that have applied? If so, can you tell us about the decision, i.e., was the application successful or not, and how much have these communities received over the past five years?
I have the impression that there's a big gap here and that it's preventing francophones and indigenous groups from really getting along.
