The Société de développement économique often works with entrepreneurs, but we're also working on community economic development. We joined the Maillardville association to see whether it was possible to restore to the municipality of Maillardville the appearance it had 80 years ago. We prepared a development plan to revitalize Maillardville together with those people and with the help of Industry Canada. We have the support of the municipal council and the mayor of Coquitlam. In fact, Maillardville is part of Coquitlam. It's been mentioned a number of times that the 2010 Winter Olympic Games are a very positive factor for us. In working with these people, our objective is to develop this Francophone face that even Mr. Campbell, the premier, recognizes.
In addition, the Société de développement économique is working with the Nanaimo people on the Bonjour project. The goal in that case is to establish exchanges between the city and Quebec. Things are going very well. In anticipation of the 2010 Games, the Quebec City and Montreal Chambers of Commerce are being encouraged to come and do business in cooperation with the Francophone community of British Columbia. I attended some meetings last week. We were very successful. Even Mr. Furlong, the Chair and Chief Executive Officer of the Games' Organizing Committee, came with us to encourage Quebec to joins us.
