Maybe I would start with just an overarching statement from the departmental perspective and invite the regional development agencies to chime in as well.
I think that the exercise that we went through with respect to renewing the official languages road map really is the foundation of what it is that we can do in working with communities. The point was we have a five-year plan; we evaluated the five-year plan; we consult regularly, formally and informally, with communities; we try to track what best practices are, what works, what doesn't work; we promote trying different approaches. Failure may happen at certain points. Every business doesn't take off, whether it's in an official language minority community or elsewhere, but it's the idea of trying some innovative new products, services, getting on the ground, thinking about how we use things like new technologies; it's the broad policy suite that the government has, as well as the more tailored ones that can happen in communities.
It's that constant tweaking of what it is that we try to do, lining it up with whether it works or not, trying to replicate what works, tweak what doesn't, and then come back in five years and present it all over again to ministers in the form of, say, a new proposal or a budget proposal that parliamentarians can then vote on and say, yes this works or no it doesn't.
