Thank you Pierre.
If I may, I would like to answer the question, Mr. Chairman. For the past 15 years I have been working with francophone and Acadian communities and the government in the area of economic development and if there is one thing that I have learned it is that the government is complicated. It is very, very complicated. Should we have one policy or one program? I don't know.
We have to look at the whole issue of horizontality on its vertical axis. We talk a great deal about horizontality but, as far as we are concerned, in the economic sector where I work, we can identify the important players within the federal and provincial governments because the provincial governments also have a role to play.
So we have to take into account the current programs that can meet the needs of francophone and Acadian communities, now that they have been identified. We then have to see how we can change and modify these programs and policies to meet the needs of the communities.
In other words, we should do what we did with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada: we identified a program, we took it apart and then suggested that such and such a comma or word be changed, that this or that be changed, so that it could meet the requirements of the francophone and Acadian communities.
I don't know if that answers your question.
