In much of what we do, we come up against the fact that foreigners believe that in Canada, French is only spoken in Quebec. They are often surprised to learn that French is also spoken elsewhere in Canada. I live in Halifax, Ms. Mallet lives in Moncton and we work hard internationally to familiarize people with Atlantic Canada. Acadia also extends to Quebec. People are rapidly becoming aware of the fact that French is not only spoken in Quebec. The more we talk about it, the more people become interested, and that opens the door to economic and other exchanges and collaborations. We also do a lot in terms of youth education and promotion.
It opens the door to many opportunities.
