We are already part of an entrepreneurial Francophonie network. Entrepreneurs can also meet at the Rencontre internationale de la Francophonie économique—international meeting of the Francophonie on the economy—and a number of other events organized by associations. Events have been organized in Canada—in Manitoba and Ontario—where some francophone companies from different countries participated. Connections have already been established within the community.
La Francophonie member countries are signing agreements amongst themselves. That adds value to the opportunities we have already started to develop. International meetings are being held already, be it through the Canadian Community Economic Development Network or the Réseau intercontinental de promotion de l'économie sociale solidaire, RIPESS.
People are already meeting around the world and doing business, be it as part of conventional economy—where private companies are participants—a fair trade-based economy, or something similar to that. There is a lot of variety.
The francophone global market has about 900 million francophones, 9 million of whom are in Canada.
