We see the millions of dollars handed over every year to anglophone lobby groups who label everyone who stands up for French as xenophobes or identitarians, as you have. On the francophone side, not a penny is being spent in Quebec to help francophone organizations. That's what's really unfair.
Moreover, the language rights of anglophones have always been respected. What I mean is that anglophone elementary and secondary schools were over-funded in the beginning. That situation has been corrected. Some may argue that this is still the case, but since 1973, a change has occurred and funding has been more evenly distributed. Anglophone CEGEPs receive twice as much funding as anglophone demographics would warrant. In universities, the rate is three or four times as much. That's what I mean. Anglophone institutions are much more heavily funded.
In the rest of Canada, francophone universities are underfunded in relation to the demographic weight of anglophones. Representatives of francophone colleges who came to testify on the education continuum told us that they didn't have enough schools or that existing schools were dilapidated, among other things. There really is a double standard. In my opinion, the modernized Official Languages Act reflects a number of positions asymmetrically favourable to French in Quebec, yet nothing has changed.
