As I told you at the outset, we called upon the universities and community colleges across Canada. It was really open to those institutions that wanted to take part in this pilot project. The criteria were very flexible because we wanted to encourage as many universities and community colleges as possible to cooperate in it. We requested a commitment on their part, that is to say that we asked them if they were ready, interested and prepared to commit for the duration of the pilot project, to find participants among their student bodies and to ensure that conditions were conducive to student participation and to the introduction of initiatives fostering the use of both official languages. There were four essential criteria. There were also some assets.
