On the question of equity with respect to our francophone neighbours, it's a very sensitive but important question. And as you will hear from other groups, they'll talk to you about our being part of another national linguistic minority. Now, as we mentioned in our brief, we have the luxury of a community with history, with a critical mass in Montreal that built universities and hospitals and so on. But there's the notion of every dollar for official languages—I don't have the accurate statistics in front of me—being divided nowhere near 50-50. With the greatest respect to our
francophone colleagues throughout the country, we would urge you to show the appropriate level of caution. There are some very significant questions about the distribution of money available for both linguistic minorities.
