I believe that I am asking the same question. We are sitting on the Standing Committee on Official Languages and I agree with this motion concerning the official language communities.
We can find official language minority communities, but the word "rural" is less specific. What is the real meaning of the word "rural"?
For example, if a city newspaper is an urban one, but part of its circulation is rural, does it count? What is the definition of rural? Why are we speaking of rural communities here at the Standing Committee on Official Languages?
