I very much doubt that she had spoken about it with Ms. Joly. At any rate, this is what we heard. Obviously, we were very surprised by her response. At that point in time, if it was indeed true, I don't think that they had spoken about funding for the Université de l'Ontario français.
It seems, given Ms. Mulroney's statements during our meeting with Mr. Ford, that she completely endorses her government's position which is based on economic constraints. She even declared that the Université de l'Ontario français will not be opening its doors September 1st, 2020 as long as the province's finances are not in a better state.
