You said that offering services in the languages of the communities was something crucial. Actually, they cannot, in the area of education, defend themselves in court against provincial political authorities. They have been deprived of these tools that they used for building the foundations of their community.
Mr. Lussier, you commented that the Court Challenges Program should not have been cut, because it was helping certain minority francophone communities to build or to preserve the heart of their community and thus to avoid a heart... condition, shall we say. In any case, I appreciated your comments on this matter.
Earlier, we discussed the yearly spring meetings in which the communities take part. Are these communities and their various organizations being consulted? Are their needs evaluated in a global way, or in a more restricted sense?
