Official Languages committee  Are you talking about websites?

Official Languages committee  I'm not sure.

Official Languages committee  On how the funding is distributed?

Official Languages committee  It has been since 1988. The amount increased from $1 million to $1.2 million—

Official Languages committee  There are 1,245 francophones and 3,545 persons who speak French, so virtually three times as many. So that must be the result of learning French as a second language.

Official Languages committee  With your permission, I'm going to contact the people at Canadian Heritage because they are still preparing the cheque.

Official Languages committee  Very active, and it does very good things.

Official Languages committee  I think they retain it, I don't know whether— Pam would like to respond to that. In my opinion, they retain it.

Official Languages committee  There are now 500 more French speakers in Yukon. I'm going to try to find out since what year that has been. I think I'm getting too old to remember all the figures.

Official Languages committee  Five hundred more persons since—

Official Languages committee  That's correct.

Official Languages committee  Yes.

Official Languages committee  I can't speak on behalf of the people who come and settle here, but I suppose that, as was my case, they come and work for a few months and don't want to leave.

Official Languages committee  That's a question that the francophone community, through the AFY, could answer better than I could. These people have access to many government services in French. They speak French. When you talk around Whitehorse, you hear a lot of people speaking French. So we have to continue our efforts to improve services.

Official Languages committee  I cannot talk on behalf of the Northwest Territories. I know the Northwest Territories is putting its own money into the implementation of French language offices, and it may be because there are three languages as well. You have the first nations, the francophones, and all that.
