Official Languages committee  Both of them do it. The province of New Brunswick will do an evaluation only of the $10 million. We will then have specific results for the $10 million that has been invested in New Brunswick. A little earlier, Ms. Frenette mentioned that we are also going to include the $10 mil

Official Languages committee  As I mentioned in my earlier answer, all indications we have received up to now concerning these projects in Newfoundland and Labrador and the others that we are directly responsible for are that disbursing the full amount is not going to be a problem.

Official Languages committee  Obviously, that is an important project. To date, we have invested about $300,000 and we have $600,000 left to disburse. Initially, the process to introduce NB Translation in the small business community was relatively slow, but I can tell you that the ACOA team put in additiona

Official Languages committee  Yes.

Official Languages committee  Yes, we are familiar with it. To my knowledge, that technology has not been used by the people at NB Translation in what they are trying to do for small businesses. The idea was to adapt translation for small businesses looking for a service. They really wanted to be alongside th

Official Languages committee  In terms of the EDI, our funds were reserved mainly for projects that would develop various capacities. The EDI has not supported building projects, strictly speaking. There are other regular programs we can use for that. In her presentation, Ms. Frenette mentioned a few that we

Official Languages committee  Mr. Chair, if you want a precise answer about the francophone proportion of our clientele, I think we are going to have to send you a specific answer. We do not have the figures at hand.

Official Languages committee  Are you talking about the difference between the $151,000 and the $385,000?

Official Languages committee  Thank you for the question. It is very broad and it may be difficult for us to answer clearly. We can see the results of projects we have funded under the Economic Development Initiative and we can say that there have to be good product development strategies. As well, as we can

Official Languages committee  That is a good question. I am going to try to do a quick calculation.

Official Languages committee  I have found the answer to your question. Mr. Chair, I can tell you that ACOA's contribution to the project in Newfoundland and Labrador is about $400,000. To date, we have disbursed about $151,000. Obviously, other sources of funding were found to add to the funds coming solely

Official Languages committee  Out of the $400,000 invested, $151,000 has been disbursed. All the information we receive, even the preliminary evaluation data, suggest to us that there is very little chance that the additional amount will not be completely disbursed.

Official Languages committee  Mr. Chair, when you look at the funding sources from the 34 projects that we funded—and I must say, even the ones that we did not fund—other federal departments were always involved, either eventually as a funding partner or with whom we had some concerns when we were evaluating.

Official Languages committee  In terms of the EDI, I am personally very proud of the projects submitted by the francophone community in Newfoundland and Labrador. Five of the 34 EDI projects we received, 15% of the total, were from Newfoundland and Labrador. I can tell you about some of them. There is the As

Official Languages committee  I'm just going to find the information on this project, because it's an important one. The two projects we did that I think had the greatest impact on tourism were the two biggest ones. Both of these were with the commission on Acadian tourism in Atlantic Canada, or, in French,
