First of all, I absolutely agree with you on the importance of local knowledge and more generally of knowing what you're talking about. Again, I don't want to represent myself as any sort of representative of or expert on the English community in Quebec. I simply live here, and I'm an anglophone.
Having said that, the English in Quebec have a number of advantages, I think, that make it less serious to be subject to some of the constraints, for example, with which we're familiar. It's a commonplace here, for example, that anglophones are under-represented in the Quebec civil service. Is that a serious problem? Perhaps not.
The fact is that the anglophone minority in Canada is free to move anywhere within this country, and those who find themselves heavily constrained have in many cases already gone. The younger generation of people is not constrained, in my experience—which is informal—by lack of language skills. I think it's possible to exaggerate the difficulties that the community faces. It's not obvious to me that a large number of special programs are necessary to alleviate some of these difficulties.
If someone were to mention a particular sphere in which the anglophone community is disadvantaged, I think it would make sense to look at programs that could deal with that. But it's not access to capital markets; it's not access to education. I think one could exaggerate the difficulties of being in a minority here as an anglophone.
The difficulties that I see here are of a more global nature and of course, I think, are much smaller now than they were just a few months ago. That has to do, as I indicated at the beginning—and this is not something specific to the English community either, but to all Quebeckers, francophone and anglophone—with the requirement that there be some stability and certainty in order to undertake investments. As that is solidified, I think the economic position of all communities in Quebec will be improved by increasing investments.
I don't know whether that answers your question or not.
