Prior to 1995, it was very difficult to follow the process, to see exactly what the funding situation was.
The Commission nationale des parents francophones at the time published a study titled “Où sont passés les milliards $?”. The study wondered where the billions of dollars had gone and established that, from 1970 to 1988, of the $5 billion that had been paid out by the federal government under the official languages support programs, 62% of the funds had been allocated to anglophones in Quebec and immersion schools in English Canada. That was at the very beginning, when francophone communities lacked funding and the assimilation rate was increasing.
What do you think of those facts?
