You mentioned seniors. It is clear that seniors are a priority. Statistics show that the anglophone population is aging faster in Quebec than elsewhere in the country.
There are efforts underway to create a seniors' network in order to determine what can be done in Quebec, from a strategic perspective, for anglophone seniors. Traditionally, anglophone seniors, because of the generation they belong to, are not as bilingual as young people. These seniors are 55 years or older.
We are seeing seniors go back to the regions they come from. They are retiring. They went to Toronto or elsewhere in Canada and now they are coming back to the regions they come from. They are not particularly bilingual. These are Canadians who left for various reasons and who are now coming home, to Quebec, but they do not have a very proficient level of bilingualism. This is creating pressure on health services and other services. It is important that we give them a strong network so that they are able to stay where they have chosen to come back to, whether that be Thetford Mines or Gaspésie.
At the other end of the spectrum are young people. Something that is important for our communities is the renewal of our population. People leave, people come back. We cannot chain our young people to a basement and keep them there, but attachment to community is important. There is a strong community in Thetford Mines. Whether the community is anglophone or francophone is irrelevant but the attachment to community is important. It is important that people see that they can come back to their communities and have access to services in their mother tongue.
There are many other issues, but they often revolve around these two target groups, that is, young people and seniors, and their feeling of belonging to their communities in their regions in Quebec.
