Indeed, when you consider the present agreements, they contain five parts. The first part is the purpose of the agreement; the second, common values; the third, that's the principle; in the fourth, there are the commitments to act for both parties, the department and the community; and in the fifth, it's the application of the agreement and the consultation and participation mechanism, and so on.
It's clear that the agreement is in place to define the commitment of both the community and the department to work together on the development objectives that the community has set for itself. Most communities have comprehensive development plans that they have refined over the years. In that respect, Ontario is obviously much more complex than, for example, Newfoundland and Labrador. At that point, in the implementation of the agreement, the groups operating in Toronto will definitely have analytical criteria for their funding, and others, which will not be the same as in a rural region. The agreement doesn't provide a magic recipe for saying how much money would go to a rural group relative to an urban official language minority community group. Definitely, in the next round... Ultimately, it all comes back to how the community, whether it's urban or rural, is able to articulate its development priorities and to how that is then translated into support from the department.
I think it's important to realize that the collaboration agreement is only a tool. We now have a lot more than Part VII. Other federal departments have to play a role in health, justice and a number of other areas. Canadian Heritage is no longer the only funding agency for what is called community development. That's a major shift compared to the years when I was young and the Secretary of State had to fund everything related to the official language minorities in Canada. There was a lot to do with $3 million at that time.
