You were saying that human nature is such that we argue, particularly in the francophone world, especially in Quebec. Obviously, every organization defends its turf in each of the fields it represents. I think it’s normal to a certain extent.
How would you describe your current collaboration with each of these organizations?
I’ve been on the Standing Committee on Official Languages for several years. Several times, we heard about accountability and the fact that organizations are often underfunded or have trouble working together.
Once again, I commended the members of the RDEE board of directors for their dynamism and their outlook on the future.
Let’s face it, the current state of the country’s finances will dictate how we run the country in the future. The administration of funds granted to French-language minority communities throughout the country will come under a certain amount of scrutiny.
Do you think your relationship with other organizations could lead to dialogue or savings by working more closely together?
