I think it's a good measure, a responsible measure. Some organizations receive $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 for very important services intended for very small communities in Canada where there is no radio or television broadcasting or French-language newspapers and where French is entirely absent from the schools. In those conditions, that immediate payment is really important. Consequently, the 25% measure will remain government policy until we are entirely convinced that all funding problems for those organizations have been solved.
