This decision greatly concerned me because, in my opinion, we still run the risk of losing all kinds of information about official language minority communities. It breaks the continuity in relation to the information that was available in the past. Furthermore, this decision was made without prior consultation with the communities and without assessing its potentially prejudicial effects.
I would like to come back briefly to one of my concerns, which is budget constraints. I am very aware of the unanticipated negative effects of decisions made for a particular reason. I am thinking, in particular, of the decision to abolish the Royal Military College in Saint-Jean in 1995. That was done for purely budgetary reasons, but it has had long-term effects that are still being felt.
