I can answer that.
The federal government already provides funding through a revitalization program, involving Canada-Manitoba agreements that are really aimed at facilitating access to cultural and linguistic enrichment activities. There are grants for these activities, but they obviously cover only part of the cost.
I would like Manitoba's francophone cultural organizations to get funding so they can offer other programs across the province. Some do exist, but not enough. Yes, there is a symphony orchestra and some major organizations, but there are other people who can offer cultural activities in French. I want these people to receive the support they need to provide these activities in schools. That's important.
I want to add something about how the federal government could contribute. It could show Canadians across the country that Canada has a rich francophonie. The complex that has been mentioned is attributable to the fact that our bilingual Canadian identity... I really want to come back to this idea. A person's second language is different from their first language, but that doesn't mean there are no similarities. Manitoba has a rich francophone culture. French is a first language for some and a second language for others. What is the Canadian francophone identity? It's the image projected by people like me who have always studied and worked in French and who live in French here. People say that that's what Canada is, but I would like to see some kind of campaign around that idea.
