Yes, but once again the government has to listen, Mr. Deschênes‑Thériault.
In the middle of page 34 of the binder, under “Dialogue and consultation activities”, it says that, “In carrying out this objective, every federal institution shall: gather relevant information; seek the opinions of English and French linguistic minority communities about the positive measures; be prepared to alter those positive measures” after considering their point of view.
Note that it says “federal institutions shall” and not “federal institutions may”.
More money is needed. The recent action plan is a good start, but the money has to be spent wisely, after consulting people on the ground and making adjustments, as in the case of Collège Nordique francophone.
