The roadmap could support infrastructure, and certain other departments could as well.
On this point, it is also important to realize that the action plan for official languages is an important factor in mobilizing departments that have specific responsibilities or that will be making targeted investments. However, it does not necessarily stop at that, and that should also not be an excuse for the other departments to do nothing.
With respect to infrastructure, some programs therefore may not necessarily be part of the roadmap but may have francophone aspects and could be used as a way to invest more. They must be given a format to which francophone organizations can have access, with conditions that enable them to access infrastructure programs.
For example, it will probably be somewhat difficult if a community organization wants to build or establish a day care centre, has to raise 50% of the funding in the private sector, and has only four weeks to file a funding application. So I think the reality of the communities also has to be considered in the way the programs are structured so that francophones can also get this money and so it is fairer.
Should that be in the action plan or not? That is a good question. However, the federal government also has to look into the matter. If we do not have adequate, well-equipped infrastructure in our communities, and if we look like second-class citizens, then at some point people will go elsewhere. They do not want infrastructure that looks like rundown community centres from the 1930s, when the centre next door has just been renovated and everything there is done in English. Those are important aspects too.
