I would add, Mr. Bélanger, that the University of Sudbury, which is located in your riding, is entitled to receive regular, predictable, multi-year, intelligent and transparent funding.
It is also entitled to receive that funding directly, instead of receiving it through Toronto, where a certain percentage may or may not be withheld on the grounds that matching provincial funds may be sought. That is allowed under the Constitution, as Mr. Bossé just explained. I would even go so far as to say that it's required by the new version of the Official Languages Act. That would certainly be the best way to implement the act, especially part VII.
What is certain, Mr. Bélanger, is that things have to change. The status quo since 2023 is, at first glance, illegal under the Official Languages Act.
