At the end of March 2013, when the new roadmap was announced, with a supposed starting date of April 1, were they ready? Clearly not. The government of the time wanted to look at certain aspects again. You cannot criticize a government of any kind for wondering whether it is doing things correctly and whether something needs to be changed. Unfortunately, on April 1, it was not ready. If I recall correctly, the roadmap was announced on March 24 or 28, approximately. The programs were not ready.
I can confirm the story about three-year funding. There were a lot of questions about how the funds were supposed to be distributed. National community organizations—not ours—were approached to distribute the money. That was last year, shortly before the elections, I must say, not wanting to be political. They wanted to get rid of the amount set aside in the roadmap. Under those conditions, the organizations first stalled, saying, for example, that it was not up to francophone organizations to divide up the envelope among francophones outside Quebec and anglophones in Quebec. That was a point of discussion.
I recently signed the first funding agreements for seniors. We are one of the first provinces to receive funding. I signed them three weeks ago, I think. These are the first sums of money for that purpose that come from the Roadmap for Canada's Official Languages 2013-2018. It involves four groups that are working together and that are dividing up the envelope: seniors, parents, youth, and women.
