Statement made on 05 February 2009 by Senator Maria Chaput

Hon. Maria Chaput:

My question is for the Leader of the Government in the Senate. We greatly appreciate Minister Moore's statement in which he reaffirms his commitment.

As you know, this road map is the development plan for all official language communities in Canada. The funding received will expire at the end of March. On April 1, 2009, we must have in place new funding for all planned projects in Canada.

Can the minister guarantee that on April 1, 2009, all these groups will receive the funding required to continue the work of developing and enhancing official language communities?
