When we looked at the figures, we realized that there had been an erosion in the amounts paid out, due to the increase in school enrolments. Since 2009, we've seen a steady growth in the number of enrolments in our schools. So we have more students in our schools and the cost of living has increased, but the amounts have remained the same since 2009.
To answer your question about the effect of the grants, I would say that these sums complement what the provinces and territories offer to enhance students' educational and pedagogical experience, so that they can live their francophonie to the full. I was talking about cultural animators, leadership camps and early childhood services, for example. There's even a project here in Ottawa called Café communauté, where we offer parents of students from immigrant backgrounds the chance to meet on themes of their choosing. This project is funded in part by the federal government.
