In my region we've had a wonderful renaissance of Franco-Ontarian identity. There are many reasons--the catholic and public francophone school systems created a generation of leaders. But Radio-Canada has been there at the centre, taking the very isolated rural communities and making them believe they're part of something and that there's a common voice. In our region it's very much centred on the Franco-Ontarian identity.
Do you believe that in areas where the francophone communities are more challenged because of demographics and lack of linguistic services, an increase in Radio-Canada's regional and local presence would help at least maintain or build cultural identity?
