I don't even know if you can call us a nation. We don't yet have that luxury. With respect to education, for example, it's as if the provincial government had developed its own education culture. When we deal with the francophonie, we must often begin with the Department of Education before dealing with other departments. Ideally, in agreements related to infrastructure, for example, if there were some type of clause that compelled the government to consult with the Saskatchewan French-speaking community, it would allow us to really work with our government.
We see this with immigration, for example. Mr. Coderre ensured that we would have a clause to cover that. We were able to develop a type of partnership with our government. We have not yet accomplished what we set out to do, but at least we are at the table, we are negotiating, we are working together, and officials are more aware of the community's needs. If that were done systematically for all of the agreements, we would have a much better partnership. With the resources that are available, it would be much easier to negotiate with the federal, provincial and municipal governments. We would have a tripartite agreement and it would be much easier to move forward in the area of linguistic duality.
