Canadian Heritage committee  As you know, our role at the FCFA is really to represent the 2.8 million French-speaking Canadians who live outside Quebec. For those people, the court challenges program is crucially important to the health and survival of their community. That's really what I want to say today.

Canadian Heritage committee  We're always in favour of transparency regarding national programs. In its current form, the court challenges program is required to prepare annual reports and is held to quite a high degree of accountability. Given those factors, I think enough information is being published or

Canadian Heritage committee  To save the committee's time today, I'll respond that I entirely agree with what Mr. Jensen said in response to a similar question earlier. I think the situation would be devastating for francophone communities. As you know, the francophonie is now a rich and varied space that e

Canadian Heritage committee  Good afternoon, Mr. Chair and members of the committee. I want to thank you for inviting us to appear before you today together with our colleagues from the FAJEF.

Official Languages committee  It could be similar, but it is different. It would be very focused on the post-secondary sector and might truly influence what goes on there. Collaboration is important because it would truly help the different bodies become aware of the challenges at the post-secondary instituti

Official Languages committee  Thank you for your question, Mr. Godin. I think that is why we worked so hard on modernizing this legislation. This is the first time that legislation mentions the continuum of education, from early childhood to post-secondary education, from everything having to do with formal

Official Languages committee  Of course, the regulations will clarify several aspects of the legislation. We still do not have all the wording of the regulations, but we are working hard with the various stakeholders, including Canadian Heritage and Treasury Board, to ensure that it will be used as a solid fo

Liane Roy

Official Languages committee  Yes, absolutely. The community component is the reason we wanted to participate in the national dialogue on post-secondary education in a francophone minority context. Post-secondary institutions are places with a student social life, but they are also important for the neighbou

Liane Roy

Official Languages committee  Thank you for your question, Ms. Ashton. The answer is simple: yes. We certainly support the requests from the Association des collèges et universités de la francophonie canadienne, the ACUFC. It is perfectly familiar with its network and we support it. The ACUFC is requesting

Official Languages committee  Thank you for your question, Mr. Beaulieu. I hope things are getting better. I hope we didn't draft the final report of the États généraux sur le postsecondaire en contexte francophone minoritaire for nothing. At the very least, it's making people and the government aware of the

April 15th, 2024Committee meeting

Liane Roy

Official Languages committee  Thank you very much for the question. The details are fairly straightforward. There needs to be a committee or a group tasked with monitoring the investments to see where the funds end up. As I've said before, some of the funding that doesn't come from the Department of Canadia

April 15th, 2024Committee meeting

Liane Roy

Official Languages committee  We need to ensure that someone is responsible for monitoring those funds. That could be done by an association or by a department.

April 15th, 2024Committee meeting

Liane Roy

Official Languages committee  I think we need to look at it as a whole. What you're raising in your question is exactly what we'd like to see implemented. As we've said, the Association des collèges et universités de la francophonie canadienne could be responsible for ensuring the funds are going to the right
