Our community's position would be that the funding that's delivered directly from the federal government to communities is more effective in terms of access to services in English. English-speaking community groups in Quebec find it challenging to access funds that are transferred from the federal government through the provincial government. I would encourage you to invite an organization like the Riverside School Board that has an excellent adult education program. They can tell you the challenges they have accessing funds from Emploi-Québec to get adult education to get specific training done for anglophones in Quebec. We were pleasantly surprised and very supportive of the Canada job grant being delivered through Service Canada provincially, because for us that means that we're guaranteed access to those services in the official language of our choice.
