Mr. Speaker, on January 16, 2006, the Prime Minister said that he intended to continue the federal government's support for francophone and Acadian communities. Yet, such communities have long been asking for an increase in the funding they receive through the Canada-communities agreement.
When will the Conservative government put its words into action? Will it increase the budget of the Canada-communities agreement from $24 million to $42 million, as the francophone and Acadian communities have repeatedly requested?
