Without adding to the earlier debate, I would say that it's clear that, as you know, the action plan also affects federal institutions, including in relation to the use of French. There are 19 federal partners that need to respond to and consider the 82 initiatives. Forty-nine of those initiatives are ongoing initiatives, and the rest are new.
As for assessment, we obviously can't fix and correct something we can't measure.
The Department of Canadian Heritage has taken a number of steps to assess the impact of the action plans. Consultations with public authorities and key stakeholders have just been completed as part of the midpoint review. I believe the report will be published this spring, in 2026. Furthermore, there's going to be an evaluation, by which I mean a horizontal audit, in accordance with the requirements set out in the Treasury Board policy.
In that context, we are seeing some results, including some related to funding. First of all, community organizations are getting about $63 million to support their operations. In addition, 22 post-secondary institutions are offering 1,200 French-language or bilingual programs, and seven post-secondary institutions have programs for training bilingual health care workers. Lastly, $50 million is going toward creating a network of early childhood stakeholders and rolling out the initiatives in the communities. This funding is extremely important, especially for small communities.
