Thank you.
Earlier, Ms. Brouillette, from the Association des collèges et universités de la francophonie canadienne, said—I'm paraphrasing her—that communities can only be strong if their institutions are strong as well. This refers somewhat to the concept of institutional completeness. In Quebec, Frédéric Lacroix has spoken at length about this.
We know that, in Quebec, anglophone universities receive 30% of the provincial budget allocated to post‑secondary institutions, and over 38% of federal research grants. In Ontario, francophones make up 4.7% of the population but receive only 3% of the envelope, much of which is scattered among bilingual universities.
Mrs. Cardinal, how do you explain this imbalance? What do you think about the concept of the double majority? We know that the Official Languages Act is based on that, assuming that there is an anglophone majority outside Quebec and a francophone majority in Quebec. Sociologically, the vitality of the English language is the main concern in Quebec.
