I think it's a very important goal. I would say that the need to reach this goal was implied in my general comment that it was regrettable that clear objectives were not established for the “Roadmap”. This was one of the pre-existing objectives in the action plan. One of the problems with the objective, which was established in 2003, is that secondary education is under provincial jurisdiction. It is hard to hold the federal government to account for something that's a direct provincial responsibility. Another of our recommendations underscored the importance of the federal government in bringing new players to the table to discuss the issues involved in the “Roadmap”. Certainly, that is one of them. So I think the need to attain this goal is clearly in the report. The door is open to collaboration from the ministers responsible for francophone affairs, who passed a motion to that effect at their meeting in Quebec City.
