Your comments are extremely interesting in terms of integration. The fact is we have a tendency to see things in isolation and believe that education is something that happens in a college, and that it pretty well stops there. But education has long-term effects. If students are asked to read authors that reflect a certain culture, what they read influences them over the long term.
In Quebec, we have a critical mass, but in a way, that is what allowed us to foster all things cultural, as well as cultural and economic development, and so on.
You probably see Quebec as a role model in that regard. All forms of collaboration are welcome. I believe you are already engaged in some.
The Bloc Québécois is increasingly trying to raise awareness among people in Quebec of the fact that there are Francophones outside Quebec, of the ties that exist between the communities and of the factors that truly transcend politics. Of course, Quebeckers make their own decisions, but we have to keep that responsibility and that connection with Francophones outside Quebec.
There is also the matter of immigration which, in Quebec, plays an important role. Quebec has special agreements with the federal government as regards immigration. I would like to know whether the situation is comparable in Ontario. Can you at least provide some details on the support you receive from Citizenship and Immigration Canada in Sudbury, particularly for Francophone immigrants? Are there linkages there?
