In fact, certain federal departments had already begun the evaluations and consultations last year. I remember taking part in a strategic planning effort. Service Canada consulted our B.C. communities. I suppose that was also done outside our province.
We also took part in an evaluation of the programming in the entire health field conducted by Health Canada and in an evaluation conducted by Justice Canada. I was consulted and was asked by telephone whether I could conduct an evaluation on behalf of the community. They wanted to know what justice services it was able to offer its citizens. So those three studies were done.
I believe another important aspect should be added. When the provincial government asks us to evaluate work being done under the Canada-British Columbia Cooperation Agreement, that's at least in part an assessment of what, within this broad Roadmap for Canada's Linguistic Duality, the interdepartmental aspect represents, the direct intervention of the support program and what the province and federal government together are able to offer the community. We also want to know what kinds of services we can offer with the provincial government's cooperation.
I believe the evaluation of the Roadmap for Canada's Linguistic Duality must be very comprehensive and involve all the partners mentioned taking part in it.
