First of all, when we heard about the Roadmap for Canada's Linguistic Duality and saw that there was $10 million in there for Francophone immigration, all the provinces were thinking that they have also been working at Francophone immigration. So, they wondered why they didn't receive any money. I think it's more along those lines. It wasn't jealousy; it was envy. We are happy for our Acadian colleagues in New Brunswick. We haven't seen the results yet.
For Nova Scotia, it would mean that our province could do more. I mentioned in my presentation that there is a federal-provincial agreement on immigration, but there is no official languages funding attached to that agreement. As a result, provincial funding for the community comes exclusively from the province. CIC does give a little money to the community, but the province has no other way of helping the community.
Ten million dollars—if that were the amount given Nova Scotia—would in fact mean that we could provide better intake and integration services. At this point, reception services are limited to Halifax. In the rural areas, we have very little money for immigration, retention or intake. So, some of the money could be used to enhance services for Francophone immigrants across the province and with the support of the province.
