As Mr. Maddix just mentioned, it differs from one province to the next. The information is obviously hard to get.
Here is the most flagrant example, and it is public. In Yukon, the deputy minister admitted that a sum of slightly more than $1 that was to be allocated to French as a first language was allocated to French as a second language. That is just one example, but if there is one, there may be others. How do we know that? No one knows. As for accountability, once the funding is granted to the department, it can wash its hands of the matter.
It goes even further than that. In several of our provinces, the school board—in many cases, there is only one French-language school board for the province—is not even invited to the table when talks take place between the federal government and the provinces. And yet we are talking about funding that will be used for our programs.
