We have no difficulty with the notion of Quebec's English-language community benefiting from an equivalency-based system.That is a fact and it is stated in the committee's report: It is far more difficult to reach the French-language community. Obviously, it is because of geographical and demographic factors.
Everybody agrees that the majority of English-speakers in Quebec live in Montreal. Around 95 per cent, if not more, of Quebec's English-speakers live in the greater Montreal region. They have access to newspapers, radio stations, TV channels. Living in Montreal means that they have access to media, BBM ratings, and conventional advertising. Good for them! They might get a little more money, although I would find it surprising if they did, because they already have excellent service.
However, it is an altogether different story for French-speakers. We are scattered all across the country, in remote areas that are difficult to reach. Although, I would have to say that it is also difficult to reach French-speakers in Toronto, because there is no real French district.
In short, we have no difficulty with the equivalency principle applying equally to English-language and French-language communities. I have no problem with improving services for English-language communities, although I get the impression that they are already doing well for themselves.
