One of the things we have to pay attention to is immigration. There is no recognition of Francophone immigration. It was determined that Sudbury would be a good place to send Francophone immigrants. But very little has been done on the ground to provide for the appropriate structure, and there is very little recognition. Since the departure of the provincial ACFO, an institution like ACFO is now nothing more than one organization among many, but the sector has no real structure, and no longer is there a provincial alliance. There is nothing to ensure that we can work together. Some associations working on the ground have to make due with $10,000 a year. It won't be possible to do much if we don't provide the necessary resources to ensure that development is appropriate.
