Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for being here today.
I really enjoyed your presentations. I think you gave some very good examples of the variety of challenges, problems, issues and priorities in each province. Every province is unique and, of course, so is their linguistic situation. The provincial partners all have their own approach, which is consistent with the requests and needs of their own citizens.
You said that you are implementing agreements between the federal government and the provinces. However, there has to be some freedom with respect to their innovations and their own programs. The envelope must be fairly fixed. How are the negotiations going?
