I support the principle of this motion because it has a significant impact on francophone communities, although it is not detailed enough. I agree with the 5.4 per cent, but what proportion will go to the francophone community? I think we should set aside this motion until September, to give us a chance to do some research over the summer with the help of our analysts and clerks, so that we can flesh this out a little more. I find it a little vague, and in my opinion, this is too important an issue for our communities.
