I am the only Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Official Languages, Mr. Chair, but thank you for saying that I am your favourite one.
My thanks to the witnesses for joining us today. It was very interesting.
I understand their frustrations about post-secondary education, especially in terms of provinces like British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and even Ontario. They are not living up to their constitutional obligations to their minority francophone communities. I understand that and I agree that they always turn to the federal government to snap our fingers and fix everything.
Ms. Brouillette, you mentioned earlier that the funding has not worked in the past and that your members have confirmed that for you. Then, you said that the funding had increased by $121 million and, for the first time, the funding was permanent. How can you say that it is not working? The funding has increased and it is permanent.
I hear from the Government of Alberta that the Campus Saint-Jean will be able to use that funding. I hear from the province of Ontario that it is going to be able to use the funding.
So I would like your comments on the matter, because what I am hearing from those two provinces does not coincide with what you are saying.
