Thank you for your question.
What does it take? I think we can certainly elaborate on what it takes, but if we want to just scale it back to what it is now versus what it would be for everybody, it's important that we separate the language delivery in schools and their operation from that in the community, because those thrive in different forums and things like that.
From a school perspective, let's take a look at what it currently costs to operate an immersion school, and that's a little less than $1 million. If we wanted to open that all the way up to the secondary institution, we're looking at intensive financial support there.
The money that we manage from the indigenous languages component is $1.2 million, and, as I indicated, that's for four projects. So, if that met four communities, and we did one project each for those communities, there are still nine other communities that do not receive anything. That is not equitable to those communities. If we wanted to say, “We must meet everybody there”, we're talking about a minimum of $4 million to just satisfy one project for those communities. Most often, communities have multiple projects as their desirables, and that's just at the minimum amount.
Then, in terms of community, certainly, as well, the cost of the whole community approach is quite different. It's important to always differentiate that and consider that.
That's my response to your question, Ms. Gill.
