Some of the measures are good. Throughout the process, I tried to avoid becoming partisan. I did not want my report to destroy what had already been done, because the objective is to build on what already exists. That is why in the report I refer to the new strategy and to the next phase of the action plan, rather than to a new action plan or to getting rid of everything that has been done. Throughout the country, we want to build on what has been done so far.
We all agree that it is desirable to build in ways of measuring progress, to see where we invested funds and to set objectives that can be measured so that the official language minority communities and our partners, the federal government, other governments and community groups, can measure the impact of the strategy and the action plan. In this regard, the discussions I have had with the minister confirm that it would certainly be advisable for her and the government to be accountable for the plan to taxpayers, to ensure that their money is well spent.
