Thank you, Mr. Clair.
Actually, the problem is that the act doesn't provide for that kind of leverage. Furthermore, provincial jurisdictions must also be respected. So this is a delicate situation which unfortunately turns on the wishes of the people and decision-makers. So that's the problem.
We've previously heard that Yukon's territorial government and the Commission scolaire francophone du Yukon are co-operating. From what I understand, however, the same can't be said about Newfoundland and Labrador.
Ms. L'Heureux, it's interesting that you focus on early childhood because we heard in the first hour of our meeting that it's a nursery for developing the francophonie.
Consequently, we have to invest, but, as you know, if we invest, mathematically, the budget won't really be the same because the costs will be passed on to someone else. Federal government money is taxpayers' money, and budgets have to be managed. However, I entirely agree with your conclusion that we have to invest in early childhood because that's our resource for developing the francophonie.
Where could we find the money to invest in early childhood services and increase the potential clientele and help it expand the continuum?
