It becomes a fine line. Certainly I am aware that it is difficult to use part VII of the Official Languages Act as a sweeping measure to stop elements that are affecting a community as a whole. For example, if a mill shuts down in a New Brunswick town and this has an effect on the entire community, it's difficult to use the provisions of the Official Languages Act to intervene in that situation.
That having been said, I think it is important that the members of minority language communities are able to thrive economically in their community. We have seen with the activities of the Réseau de développement économique et d'employabilité that there is a whole series of ways in which, by linking support for industrial activities or for tourism activities, there is a strong link between supporting small businesses in the tourism industry that offer services in both languages; that this has an impact on the economic vitality of the community as a whole by supporting the minority language businesses in that area.
