I think assimilation could be a concern across the country. It's important to provide the francophone populations with opportunities to carry on activities in French, and to do so from early childhood. I think it starts there.
Francophone families have to be proud of their language—even in the case of so-called endogamous, francophone-francophone couples. We have to find programs that enable them to express that pride and to speak French to their children. It's often said that, outside Quebec, you have to learn French, but English goes in through your pores.
So it's very important that this nucleus be proud at the outset and that it be able to open up to others in order to enable newcomers, bilingual or unilingual couples to contribute to the community's vitality. That requires a whole range of activities, services and so on.
