Good morning, everyone.
Unlike some of my colleagues, I would say that the glass is half full, not half empty. I am not going to see only the negative and I think that you are doing an exceptional job. In 2009, Manitoba had an increase in francophone immigration of 260% compared to 1999 and an increase of 32% in 2009 alone. This is excellent and no one can say that it is not. It is excellent, you are always moving forward, you are looking to the future.
But our young people and the next generation are much more open to the world. So the language is not necessarily a focal point any more.
When you say immigrants, are you also on the lookout for other francophones, like Quebeckers, to help your francophone minority communities? Do you have occasion to develop interprovincial links?
