I don't understand why it isn't. If it funded the people who do the work on the ground directly, we wouldn't be in this situation, that's for sure. Funding currently goes through the provincial governments. They analyze it, then they give us what they think they should give us.
We wouldn't be in this position if the funding came directly from the federal government. I think it could be done, even though, as we know, education is a provincial jurisdiction. However, official languages are a federal jurisdiction, so it would be possible. I must admit that I don't understand why this isn't currently being done.
