I will add that at the secretariat, we manage an annual process, which takes place in the spring, involving consultations of officials from each department that has received funding from the action plan. A day of meetings is set aside for representatives from francophone communities outside Quebec, and a day of meetings is set aside for anglophones from Quebec. Last year, we were innovative. We held a day of meetings with groups interested especially in issues involving linguistic duality. That included groups like Canadian Parents for French, people from immersion, research institutes on bilingualism, and so on. The goal of these consultations is to see where they are at with the action plan, what the priorities are, what we can see from that and what we could improve. It is another mechanism for dialogue with the communities to get an update with them and their representatives on an annual basis.
