This is an example in the communications field. Most of the papers in the APF network, the Agence de presse francophone, are in the same situation, that is to say that there's significant staff turnover. In the communications field, we're experiencing exactly what the health people described earlier, that is to say problems training people here and recruiting them in their community so that they can work there. Currently, there isn't a French-language communications training program in Manitoba at the post-college level. There isn't any in the west, which means that all journalists recruited by La Liberté or other media are often people who come from Quebec, or are people who don't know the community. Or else they have to be trained when they come here.
So we've taken the bull by the horns, in cooperation with the community radio station and an organization called the Cercle de presse francophone. We've introduced an initiative called Action média, which is designed to train young people in communications, young people at the secondary level, as well as college and university students. We've organized journalism camps. We help the young people who produce the student newspaper and who work at the student radio station at the Collège universitaire de Saint-Boniface to acquire tools so that they can do the work in a more professional manner and understand what that consists of.
One of our main mandates is to train Francophone leaders, since young journalists are people who are more interested in their community. Our mission isn't to train them at school, but rather outside school. We ask them to cover actual events, we publish their reports and we broadcast them on radio. We train young people and we publish their writings in La Liberté, telling them that it has to be good in order for it to be published.
