I would say it is adding insult to injury, but the fact remains that we can still give people a chance. I asked Ms. Mounier, who is an assistant deputy minister at Heritage Canada, if we could go so far as cutting VANOC's funding if they did not deal more seriously with the French fact. It would be an extreme measure. In fact, she said yes. We are therefore talking about cutting their funding if the contribution agreements are not respected.
I would like to know what deadline we should give these people. They have been preparing for some years now. If it was up to me, I would have given responsibility for this file to the Fédération des francophones de la Colombie-Britannique a long time ago. These people are sensitive to the French fact and even the English fact, much more than VANOC seems to be, in fact.
