At the municipal level, it's very complicated in one way. The municipalities aren't subject to Ontario's French Language Services Act, and that's a problem for us. In addition, the municipalities aren't officially bilingual. That's another problem for us. We have to be able to rely on the good will of our municipalities. Over the years, our municipalities, Sudbury among others, have boasted about their bilingual labour force in order to attract people. However, we have to work with them. If we want to attract people and businesses, we have to be able to provide them with a good quality of life and thus to offer them good municipal recreation programs. We have to be able to give the community a good standard of living. For us, in the field, it's an everyday struggle. We have to work with the municipality to obtain every small service, every little advance, and sometimes there's even a regression. Since we've just had a municipal election, we have to start the work over. At the provincial level, there's an openness, but there's very little money for that. Cooperation is probably better in Sudbury because it's a major centre, and people in the field see the people from the various departments.
It's problematical.
