Thank you Mr. Chairman.
I will pursue the earlier discussion a little, but by addressing another aspect. One of the campuses in my riding, the New Brunswick Community College in Campbellton, now offers—last year I announced the official opening of the centre and it is mentioned in the one of the documents—a radiology techniques program, among others. This was a first in New Brunswick, and what is more, it was in a Francophone area. I lift my hat to my predecessor, who worked very hard to achieve this project. These are concrete examples of how we can find the means on the campuses, at a university or at a community college, to train people in health care.
You made a comment earlier, Mr. Patry that I would like to come back to. It was about funding or the financing agreement that ends in 2008. As you said so well: 2008 is around the corner. We do not need to wait until 2008 to start talking about how we can improve things or about plans for the future. Official language minority communities are turning to the future and not the past, as the Minister responsible for La Francophonie and Official Languages said a few weeks ago.
Mr. Patry, I would like to know where things stand on the discussions with the federal government for renewing this agreement. I know there are members of the government sitting across from us, but do you feel there is a will to resolve this quickly without having to wait until 2008?
