Thank you for this question.
Earlier on, I spoke about the increased funding for human resources. In 2018, some volunteers went out and got some elected representatives on our side. They spoke with municipal, provincial and federal representatives. We didn't have to persuade Ms. Gladu, because she was already convinced that it was important for our region. We also reached out to francophone organizations in the region. I should remind you that it is indeed a small region. We have only six organizations that provide activities or services in French to the francophone community. That's not including federal services. There were consultations with people working in mental health, for example. We don't have services like that here in Sarnia. I say “here”, but I live in Montreal. But this doesn't exist in Sarnia. Community organizations provide it.
So in 2018, we submitted the application.
