"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3345938\" data-originallang=\"fr\">First of all, I think that is a promising idea, but we would have to think about it a bit. The first thing that comes to mind is that this is an optional program. I do not know whether the idea that English as a second language and French as a second language are important values is strong enough to take root. That requires a little more than an optional approach.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3345939\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would like to make a suggestion about accountability. The memorandum of understanding between Canadian Heritage and the Council of Ministers of Education has expired. Negotiations will resume shortly. This would be an appropriate time to try to add an accountability mechanism to ensure that funding allocated to certain programs, such as programs for French as a first language, French as a second language or English as a second language, is properly used, or at least properly reported.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3345938\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> De prime abord, c'est une formule qui me semble int\u00e9ressante, mais il faudrait y penser un peu. La premi\u00e8re chose qui me vient \u00e0 l'esprit, c'est que c'est un programme facultatif. Je ne sais pas si ce serait assez fort pour ancrer l'id\u00e9e que le fran\u00e7ais langue seconde ou l'anglais langue seconde sont des valeurs importantes. Cela n\u00e9cessite un peu plus qu'une approche facultative.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3345939\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Pour ce qui est de la reddition de comptes, j'aimerais faire une suggestion. Le protocole d'entente entre Patrimoine canadien et le Conseil des ministres de l'\u00c9ducation est \u00e9chu. Les n\u00e9gociations vont reprendre prochainement. Ce serait un moment opportun pour essayer d'ins\u00e9rer une formule de reddition de comptes afin de s'assurer que les fonds allou\u00e9s \u00e0 certains programmes, par exemple les programmes de fran\u00e7ais langue premi\u00e8re, de fran\u00e7ais langue seconde ou d'anglais langue seconde, sont bien utilis\u00e9s ou, du moins, bien rapport\u00e9s.</p>"
