Earlier, I gave an example of the kind of support the service to assist research in French will offer. That service is a kind of single window that the entire community, and researchers who want to do research in French, will be able to use.
For Acfas, this service is an absolute priority, to the point that we decided to launch it before the government of Quebec offered us our first grant. One person will not be enough. There will have to be a team to process funding applications that will come from the four corners of the country, in every field. This group will not necessarily have to be physically present in Quebec. Its members could be spread throughout Canada, to take the regional aspect into account, while remaining connected with one another.
The federal government has to give the project its full support, because that will make it possible for French to be sustainable as a language of research in Canada.
