Okay, thank you.
In our opinion, another very important aspect is the “by” and “for”. We have talked at length about it. Francophone communities in Canada want access to funding. If they do not receive it directly, we should at least ensure that the federal and provincial governments have an obligation to be accountable. We must ensure that the money allocated to the provinces for this or that francophone activity will be really used for that purpose, particularly in education.
Our understanding is that, when funds are transferred to the provinces for the francophonie, they are not always used by the services that have requested them.
Ms. Nolette, perhaps you could comment on that.
