Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question I would like to direct to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. It relates to the lapse of money for French language programs and other matters. It has been my understanding that any proposals that were put forward by L'Association des Parents Franco de Yellowknife and the Federation Franco-Tenoise deal with education and language matters. They are scrutinized by the Department of Education, Culture and Employment prior to forwarding them on to Heritage Canada for funding. Often, it is felt that they are pared down. By the time they reach Heritage Canada, who also takes a cut at them, there is not much left. This may have contributed to some of the lapse in funding in the past. Can the Minister assure the people responsible, that this procedure will be reviewed in order that the proposals are as close as possible to their original state when they reach Heritage Canada, and avoid any kind of lapse in the future.
