Yes.
I come from Manitoba. My riding is Winnipeg Centre, and we are nearly as big as Nova Scotia. As you said, it's three point something. It's approximately the same size.
It seems to me the official language minority communities don't just need collaboration, as you said, madam; they also need big efforts. In what circumstances does that work or not work? I'm interested in that because I come from Manitoba and we are very small like you.
