Thank you, Mr. Simard.
The project you refer to, the one in Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes, is a good example of a federal contribution that snowballed. Not only did it make it possible to develop a project, but it also received significant support from the province—because health is nevertheless a provincial jurisdiction—which led the community to make a fairly large investment in it. So this is a partnership involving three parties, which we hadn't previously seen, at least at the same level.
The federal investment—it has to be considered an investment—has undoubtedly had a multiplier effect. The figure of 50¢ per dollar was mentioned. In some instances, you could almost state 25¢ per dollar. You could multiply every 25¢ that the federal government invests by two or three. That's a sign of greater acceptance of the Francophone phenomenon by the province and also of a sufficient commitment by the community to establish French-language health services. The community mainly makes a commitment to primary health; it's very consistent in primary health. That's a very good example. We could cite a number of other examples in this area.
