I was very relieved to see that the investments in the health field have been renewed. That's a success of the action plan that was renewed under the Roadmap. I was also relieved to see that a cultural component was introduced in the Roadmap for the first time.
Without knowing the details—they'll no doubt be coming—I'm concerned by the fact that very little funding is slated for the public service. As you can see, there is always a certain concern about linguistic capacity in the public service.
I've often observed something that is not directly related to the action plan. Other funding has been terminated. Some public servants who do not live in a bilingual region have trouble getting government funding to learn the other language. They're told they don't need the training because they don't live in a designated bilingual region. It's precisely because they aren't in a bilingual region that they have a greater need of bilingual training; otherwise, they will spend their entire career in their region and won't have the opportunity to be promoted to key positions in the National Capital.
I'm not opposed to the idea of making the departments accountable and enabling public servants to receive individual language training as part of their training plan. That has to be done, and this has to be said clearly and openly. The Roadmap would've been an opportunity to do that.
