I can tell you about the situation in Alberta. Right now, we are in a very fortunate position, and that is why we are able to deal with these challenges. Because of the economic boom in Alberta, this is where everyone wants to move. People are coming here in droves. When I talk to my friends in Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and Maritimes, I tell them that I would not like to see us steal their population and how these people return home anglicized in 10, 20 or 25 years. We want to protect these peoples' culture, but the population is growing so quickly that we are unable to welcome and integrate these people into the francophone community, and they disappear. These are major challenges for us. We need an adequate increase in our financial resources. I do not like to start by talking about money; I prefer to talk about principles and vision, but there has to be adequate funding to back that up.
