Clearly, over the years in many jurisdictions, there have been issues around the use of funds with respect to official languages. For example, in one jurisdiction we would use the funds to pay teachers, but teachers are required whether or not you have official languages. You have to make sure that it's to pay for the extra costs involved in providing education for either FSL, French as a second language, or French as a first language.
What we have to do when we have these agreements is specify clearly where those dollars are going. What programs are they to support? For example, is it FSL? If so, what are they paying for, extra resources and/or materials? You have to specify that as opposed to something like buying a bilingual bus, bilingual photocopy machines or something of that nature, which I think has happened in the past. It's very important that the investments that are made by the federal government achieve the goals they are intended to achieve.
