There have been a lot of cultural activities to try to bring together the Spanish-speaking, the Hispanic population. The Portuguese population, to a great extent, has roots back in Portugal more than in Brazil, although there have been a significant number of Brazilians coming to Canada to study or for work opportunities. That is part of cultural involvement and of getting to know the countries better and, obviously, of giving the people who live here the opportunity to show and share their success.
There is a group of Hispanic professionals who get together every year and bring in professionals who have succeeded in Canada, to try to show how the culture of the countries in Latin America subsists and maintains itself here. It's still relatively small but growing.
We are, as an organization, very keen on that, because almost half of our employees speak Spanish today in Scotiabank due to the investments we have made and the number of employees we have overseas.
There is a growing population. The Spanish language is spreading more and more in Canada, and it's part of the multicultural aspect of Canadian society.
