I was told that the table in question had to be translated before being distributed to the committee members. I don't know whether that was done.
Take the example of Newfoundland, where the federal government pays $3.9 million for official languages. Out of that, the province spends $1.3 million for francophones and $2.6 million—twice as much— for anglophone immersion programs. Knowing that the assimilation rate for francophones in Newfoundland is 64%, we frankly consider this to be money that the federal government should be directing elsewhere.
There are other cases. In Saskatchewan, for example, 40% of the $6.7 million paid by the federal government goes to francophone schools and 60% to immersion programs. If the federal government told the province that the money it provides may not go to immersion programs anymore and must go to francophone schools, they would get almost twice as much money.
