Official Languages committee  There are many success stories. People come and settle in Alberta to start up a business. We have 200 members who are either Franco-Albertans or people from elsewhere. There are also companies that come from elsewhere. Some Quebec businesses come and settle in Alberta. For example, Groupe Cossette, an electrical company, has signed major contracts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars with Cenovus Energy in the Bonnyville and Fort McMurray regions.
