The Commissioner of Official Languages said here on Tuesday that he spoke to some minister in the province who said, “When the money comes in, we decide where it goes.” That's not very good news. According to part VII, the government has the responsibility to promote the official language in a province where the minority exists, and the money goes to that group. It's not for the government to say, “Now I'm going to do what I want with it.” It's not for roads; it's for education or health care. That's what was said here on Tuesday.
