Thank you, Madam Speaker. With respect to the honourable Member, the fact is that a lot of the commitments that are being made and the submissions that are being determined are the result of community decisions. They are the ones who submit the proposals.

In the case of the French funding, that is another matter for the Minister responsible for the overall languages agreement, Ms. Cournoyea. What I deal with, primarily, are the educational issues and the language services issues.

I want to advise the honourable Member -- and I'll say it again -- we are proposing that the new agreement consider seriously the allocation to the regional organizations and regional communities so that they, themselves, can distribute the money. But like everything else, we're moving in the direction of more distribution in the communities and less control of this Assembly, if you're prepared to accept that.
