Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I will be sharing my speaking time with my colleague from Sudbury, Mr. Lefebvre.
I'd like to begin by wishing you all a good afternoon. Thanks for being here. It's a pleasure to welcome you to the Standing Committee on Official Languages.
I have only a few minutes, so I'll get to my questions right away.
Ms. Adam, I'd like to hear what you have to say about the federal-provincial funding agreements for education, which in my view is a matter of provincial jurisdiction.
How do you see things working out in the future if the federal government funding were to become permanent?
Federal funding is one thing, but as we've heard from other participants, the provincial government was not providing its contribution, and had completely disengaged. This happened in Alberta, and also in New Brunswick in some respects.
