I will begin and then perhaps Josée can expand on my answer.
If you are wondering what kind of relationship exists between francophones and anglophones in a province or a city, just take a taxi. The taxi driver will tell you exactly what he thinks and will happily take charge of the conversation. Here, when taxi drivers hear you speak French, they all tell you that they have a bilingual child, niece, grandson, brother, sister or sister-in-law, and they are very proud of the fact. There is openness and there is a very good relationship. In the 22 years that I lived in Newfoundland, I have maybe met — and you will always meet one — one or two anti-francophone individuals. When that happens, you move on. What this shows is that there is a very good relationship.
In terms of immigration, we do not currently have a reception system for immigrants in our communities. That said, this does not necessarily mean that we do not welcome them or that there are not any; we simply have not got into that stage yet. I am sorry, this was something I wanted to look into but I was rather tired yesterday. If I understand Citizenship and Immigration Canada's legislation, a certain number of immigrants are allocated for each province. I believe that 300 immigrants have been allocated to Newfoundland. We have five sets of statistics that show that over the past few years, immigrants have not come to our province, even within the anglophone communities. And yet, going by what people say, we are very welcoming. The problem lies not so much in how we welcome people, but rather in the fact that we do not necessarily have as much to offer as the other provinces. For example, immigrants who come from African countries and who speak French will go to Quebec and will find their community. In the same way, the Chinese go to Vancouver because they can find their community there. We still have a very homogenous population. We do not yet have that support — and I do not mean from a racial point of view — we do not yet have that mix that people can identify with. As I stated earlier, we will be focusing on this through our projects: the exploratory mission and the host project that will begin next April.
