First, when I was at the CDEM and the ANIM, we carried out studies on the profitability of investments. Some minimal and truly conservative figures indicated that $15 was generated for every dollar that was invested.
I'd like to go back to the francophone immigration question.
We receive $90,000 a year from the Government of Manitoba to take part in Destination Canada, and every time our coordinator comes back with business people, people who come and settle here. For instance, Chez Sophie and Le Croissant are new businesses created thanks to immigration. Is this profitable? Is it ever! With $90,000 a year, we bring back wealth, we create jobs and we create new businesses. In my opinion it is so obvious that hesitating to invest in francophone immigration is nonsensical.
As for investment in a bilingual Canada, I think I talked about this enough earlier. the federal government concluded some trade agreements, and that is a good thing. We think that this opens up many doors. It is in fact in those circumstances that we see to what extent the people we work with abroad see Canada as an open country, not only with respect to trade but also with respect to its linguistic duality. It demonstrates that the country has a more international nature. In my opinion these investments generate an excellent yield. We don't have any statistics yet concerning the World Trade Centre, which has been in existence for a year and two months, but we have some on other organizations, especially those of the francophonie. For instance, for Centrallia, which we attracted here, we can see the profitability of the investment.
