There are some in Nova Scotia. We have very close ties with Solidarité rurale du Québec, which plays a very important role in rural and regional development. Representatives from that organization came twice to present concepts used in Quebec. That doesn't mean that we are going to use Quebec's rural model. However, you are right that a certain effort has to be made to take charge of our situation. That's one of the main issues of the Fédération acadienne de la Nouvelle-Écosse. We will be working toward that to the extent we can and will be accepting all the assistance offered us.
Some partners are doing a lot of work, including RDÉE and the Nova Scotia Economic Development Council. These are essential players. Our university is also playing a key role. ACOA should probably sit down at the table with us as well.
Yes, efforts are being made, but I believe they are not targeted and organized enough to have an impact. However, we are working on that.
