For us, this program is critical and it always has been, so we're glad it's been reinstated. This is the last card to play, for us. It is always important to work with our provincial, territorial and federal governments, but if our rights are not respected, there are non-partisan avenues for minorities. This has had a structuring impact on school boards and our schools, and will continue to do so in other areas.
So I was pleased to see the government's commitment to making this program permanent, which I think should be anchored in the next version of the Official Languages Act, so that it becomes a permanent program recognized by the act.
