This is Colleen Sheppard here. I just wanted to add one small point, and that is that I think there is some perception that somehow perhaps the program was biased because it was helping minority-language communities and individuals and groups that were socially or historically disadvantaged. In my view, it's critical to understandings of equality that a program would be precisely directed to those groups who need support because they experience discrimination. So in fact that's not bias; it just makes good sense.
