I'd like to develop a concept that has always interested me for Nova Scotia, for example, because it's a concept that is extensively used in Quebec, particularly in the RCMs, where there are research observatories on the region itself.
As for the francophone community, we don't really have those research observatories that would make it possible to compile studies on the communities. I believe there would be a lot of benefits in setting up this kind of initiative because the departments could also take advantage of them, as well as the communities and organizations.
As to what indicators should be used and how the data will be measured, I'm not a methodology expert. However, I believe there are strategic factors, such as these observatories, that could enable that.
When I presented my brief to you earlier, that's what I said. At some point, we need more research and innovation. The research observatories could be one way to do that.
