Manitoba is also an excellent example of the governments' vision of what Canada is. They perceive the two official languages as adding value to our identity and sense of belonging. The provincial government of Manitoba has, among other things, recognized and mandated the Société franco-manitobaine, the provincial francophone mouthpiece, as a partner in the development of its community. If every provincial government did the same thing in its planning, that would make our communities much more dynamic.
My colleague has something to add on that subject.
