It's more or less the same principle. The provinces are being given the flexibility to invest more or less where they want. I know that the agreements now indicate certain thresholds to ensure that francophones get a share. The problem with these agreements is that amounts are often set as a minimum threshold but are often seen by provincial and territorial governments as a maximum threshold. It then becomes difficult to increase the share for francophones.
Anglophones already have services that are much better established than ours. The federal government should be making sure that funding for francophone education is increased, because there is some catching up to do. Separating the envelopes would be a good way to do that. That way the shares for francophones and anglophones would be clearly defined.
