Yes, when the Programme de développement culturel et communautaire was in place. Approximately $1.6 million was paid out over a ten-year period through this program. The federation and its services received $145,000 per annum in funding. This was shared between 10 to 12 organizations. As far as the remaining funds are concerned, I think that it is up to the territorial government to respond. I believe that there are bilingual services officials at the departments who allocated these funds, perhaps for translation purposes, but I’m not sure of the details.
