The secretariat did follow-up on the cooperative movement as a whole. When needed it could examine the situation of francophones outside Quebec or of anglophones within Quebec. The latest data go back to 2009. The difficulty in having access to data and painting a current picture of what cooperatives and mutuals represent for the official language minority communities is a good example of those repercussions.
Industry Canada, to which the portfolio was transferred, does do good work. We are satisfied with its work, but there is still much to do. There are very few resources at Industry Canada and there is not a doubt that increasing those resources will be a welcome move.
It is important to point out that official language minority communities and the organizations that work there receive no funding from the roadmap. We thought that this could be rethought and that another solution could be found. The current roadmap has been in existence for a year and not a single dollar was transferred.
