I'm going to start, and Suzanne and Diane can continue, because they're the ones who handle the day-to-day management of files.
Multi-year agreements are definitely part of the solution. I'll give you the example of the Sommet des communautés francophones et acadiennes, which was held in June 2007 and was largely funded by the Conservative government. We conducted an extraordinary exercise, and that summit resulted in a community development plan for the next 10 years. That plan sets out very specific strategies for each of the areas that we want to improve. The committees want better handling of the issues, and there are strategies. The indicators make it possible to report on the funding in place. It seems to me multi-year agreements could vastly improve the situation. There are other solutions as well.
