Mr. Speaker, on January 13, the minister wrote to ministers Mulroney and Fullerton to reiterate her commitment to provide support for the Université de l'Ontario français project, should the Government of Ontario submit a formal request.
Meanwhile our government announced $1.9 million in funding to the project to ensure start-up costs are covered until January 2020.
In March 2018, our government announced an investment of $2.7 billion over five years, including $500 million in new funding through the action plan for official languages. It is the first substantial investment in official languages since 2003.
