Well, I appreciate your question.
I have spent a lot of time in the past with the Minister of Immigration from New Brunswick and talked about these issues. In the past, it was Percy Mockler. Of course, he had an abiding interest in the issue of francophone minority communities and services, as well as the tie to regionalization and finding ways to encourage people to come to live and work in cities or areas outside Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.
You're right that Moncton is a very exciting place these days. There's lots going on and that's great.
It's true that I wasn't at la Francophonie, but we have a deep interest in this.
The $307 million is new funding that was announced in the budget. It's going to settlement services in general around the country. But obviously, in New Brunswick, our only bilingual province, a lot of the money will end up going to support settlement services for francophone minority communities.
I'm excited about that. I think this is a great chance to really put the resources behind this strategic plan. Now when we go abroad and encourage people to come to places like New Brunswick, we'll also have the resources to make sure they feel very welcome when they finally arrive.
