I think the responsibility around accountability for federal money going into provincial jurisdictions could be a shared one. This is done at the political level and at the bureaucratic level.
In Quebec, we have had devolution of certain programs without rigorous consideration of the impact on the English-speaking community. We can go back as far as the manpower programs, the labour development programs. Quebec was the first one to have it devolved. Then there's immigration, with Couture-Cullen.
So I think the responsibility is one thing. The community has a responsibility to make it understood to federal and provincial jurisdictions that there is an impact on them. If we are all concerned about the vitality of this minority community in Quebec, there should be accountability when the money comes in for where it goes and how it is expended. There have been many attempts by minority communities over the past many years to be at the table for consideration of where the money will go in education. There are other areas where money goes in and there's no consideration of what the impact will be.
On the other hand, I have to think that who gives the money starts to set the conditions. I don't want to be too harsh, but if the federal government is considering devolution, impact on the official language minority community should be considered.
