Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to all the witnesses for being here today.
Ms. Lambropoulus asked the question I wanted to ask. But, along the same lines, I have the “killer question”, to stay in the spirit of Tout le monde en parle that Ms. Fortier mentioned just now.
I do not know whether the committee members remember, but we went to western Canada two years ago. At the time, I raised the idea of a federal-provincial summit specifically on education. I am happy to see that you are pitching the same idea today, because its time has come.
So here is the killer question now. Given that the federal government gives the provinces money, but the provinces are not required to account for the way in which they choose to spend it, or even to confirm that the money was spent for the activities for which it was provided, is it not a fantasy to believe that the linguistic rights of anglophone and francophone minorities across the country will be respected any time soon? Do you understand my question?
