We're seriously considering going to see him to move this matter forward. We simply want to bring to your attention the fact that, 25 years after the Association franco-yukonnaise was incorporated, we're still having trouble getting services in French. We're constantly fighting for that. It's one of the most important issues we've raised before your committee. We want to say that we're here, even though few people know us. Even though we're a bilingual country, we're having trouble getting services in French, which is absolutely not normal.
I'd like to cite you a case pertaining to the Action Plan for Official Languages. The plan provided money for early childhood. Early childhood organizations received a lot of money to carry out applied research projects. The purpose of one of the projects was to determine the difference between children enrolled in a regular program and those enrolled in an enriched program. They chose to study 20 children from each group. However, there aren't 40 Francophone children three to four years of age in the Yukon. The Yukon Francophone comunity therefore can't even try to register for programs like that because it doesn't have enough people. Does that make us second-class citizens? No.
