Here is a specific example. Under the previous government, we witnessed the cancellation of a program that was very important for francophones, the Entrée express system. We had to do a great deal, but a lot of noise was made for that program to be restarted. The program helps support francophone communities in recruiting immigrants by assigning enough points to francophone immigrants who decide to come and live in the francophone minority communities here in Canada. It was a very important program that had previously been cancelled. It was restored in other forms in order to support the francophone communities in recruiting and selecting immigrants.
The second aspect concerns the consultations that have been conducted and enormously appreciated. The new government has finally made us feel that it needs to hear from the people in the community, those who are on the ground and who can genuinely share their ideas and say specifically what they need as a community for services to be up to scratch. All the groups were united. Here in Manitoba, for example, more than 30 groups were consulted in several fields, including official languages and immigration. Series of consultations have been launched based on the various programs offered. It was really good.
So we are experiencing those changes and we really feel that we are being listened to.
