As regards the main challenge, I hope the federal government will exercise leadership and work with the provinces, territories and communities in the true spirit of Canadian linguistic duality to establish a genuine action plan. If Canada manages to establish a well organized plan that includes the provinces and territories, as well as the communities themselves, which will become accountable as a result, instead of merely scattering money here and there, that could be an example to the world. If we manage to do that, a lot of other issues could be resolved.
