We note that where there is good provincial cooperation, francophone communities are much more successful. But this shouldn't necessarily be solely left to the provinces.
My next question is for Mr. Dubé. When we talk about Saskatchewan we often think that francophones are scattered here and there and that this is a challenge. Yesterday, we were in Edmonton: a French neighbourhood is beginning to take root there. There is an area, with the Faculté Saint-Jean and the Centre Saint-Thomas, where there is a critical mass of physical infrastructure that is important to the francophonie. Once established, this can no longer be taken away. Does this exist in Regina or Saskatoon? What challenge does this pose for health care, when clinics have to be set up throughout the province?
