The disadvantages actually will vary from region to region, as I was explaining. One thing is to make sure that we get people close to the ground to work with the communities. That's partly why we have the design that we have with the community development initiative, where it's actually each regional development agency close to the ground that will help with the funding they have with respect to the road map. That is true in Quebec for the English-speaking community as well, where they can actually engage in discussion, being on the ground with them, and try to sort things out.
With respect to the disadvantages in general, again, since it varies so much from region to region, we have to engage locally. At Heritage we have a network of regional offices. Again, we divide the country into various regions. Regional offices are very much in charge with respect to official language programming in regard to receiving the requests for funding, engaging in discussion, and making sure that we address the priorities of the community and provide value for money in terms of putting the investments where they will actually generate the best results that we can have with the communities.
This is a kind of structural way of trying to make sure that we get close to the people so that we can actually learn, observe, and study what the issues are and engage in discussions with them. For me, I think this is paramount to making sure that we are sensitive with respect to the challenges.
Now, challenges aren't always solved. Actually, some challenges are continuing and are confronting us, and the work is continuing within the amount of resources that we and the communities have in trying to do the best we can. We could review various regions to discuss what these are in northern New Brunswick and what's going on in northern Ontario and so on and so forth, because you can find different challenges in different places.
But the real answer is to try to get close and engage with the people who are actually going through the challenges and the issues and to support them if we can.
