I couldn't speak for minority communities as such, but rather for national languages. For example, in Ireland and Israel, there are very general trends. Yet, people have managed to reverse the trend in the case of languages that were in danger of becoming extinct. Obviously, investments have been made in resources in various sectors in a way that is different from the strategies developed in Canada.
I want to come back to the thrust of your question and give you an example of a general trend. We won the right to school management in Saskatchewan in 1988. In order to determine which communities would get francophone schools, the provincial government identified 14 communities. Yet, because of the legal quagmires we referred to and the fact that implementing school governance took nearly 10 years, only eight schools were opened. We lost nearly half of the rural communities that could have asked for or demanded schools. In the time it took to set up the school governance, we lost them. We have never been able to go back to those communities and set up schools there.
