Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It's not a sticking point. By the way, it's one we've discussed with Nunavut and share with Nunavut, so they're taking the same position that we want to keep the French and the aboriginal language agreements together. The concern arose out of the report that was done for the previous Minister that made the recommendation that the funding be moved to a non-government agency. So we've made it clear that that is not what we see as the best way to ensure that the funding continues to flow properly for the North. At this point, it's not a sticking point. It was a suggestion that had been made by the previous government. We made it clear that we're not in favour of that position, and we've not heard that the current government is advancing that position at all.
