Official Languages committee  I know that ACOA, the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, has received a portion of the roadmap money and is getting ready to hand out the money. ACOA is in the process of receiving project proposals from eligible organizations.

Official Languages committee  No.

Official Languages committee  We have received no money yet. The proposals have not been approved yet.

Official Languages committee  Of course. Just like Justin Morrow, I represent Canadian Youth for French. We can confirm that we have not received our funding or the contribution agreement for this year. We are in talks right now.

Official Languages committee  Yes.
