Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The biggest funding here would be for the language community itself; there's some for schooling. But just in response to the Member's question about whether or not negotiations have stalled, in fact, we're engaged this week with the Department of Canadian Heritage to try and resolve this. We've been assured that the agreement will be concluded for this current year, and there's a commitment to continue with negotiations for next year. At the annual meeting of the FFT, the director general for the department was there, Mr. Lucier. I talked to him about my discussions in the past and how we were anxious to move this file along. So we are continuing to work on trying to conclude the negotiations.
