May I speak?
My colleague talked about the problems of the small anglophone communities in the Eastern Townships. What we're lacking on the Port-au-Port Peninsula and in the Eastern Townships are services, whether in English or in French. My community on the Port-au-Port Peninsula currently doesn't have a medical clinic or a doctor. At this stage, our community is losing not only its strength—the workers are going to Alberta—but also its seniors, who are leaving the Port-au-Port Peninsula to go and settle in Stephenville in order to have access to medical care.
The vitality of a community is in danger. Whether it's in English or in French, the small communities need services.
