I have another question. I admit that I favour a particular community, which I think is quite vibrant in the anglophone minority. I'm talking about the one in the very urban areas in the province of Quebec. I'm thinking of Montreal, for example. I'm biased, I apologize.
Let me share my viewpoint. I come from the Maritime provinces, New Brunswick, from an extremely rural area. I'm very familiar with the challenges of minorities in majority settings. I know what you mean. I agree with everything you're saying. It affects me.
I live in northern New Brunswick, on the south side of Chaleur Bay. The Gaspé peninsula is on the other side. I'm thinking of New Richmond, for example.
I'm jumping all over the place, but let me come back to Mr. Shea's first statement.
It was to work in partnership with our community to develop intergovernmental collaboration to ensure federal funds are targeted so our communities hit their mark.
That's what the francophone communities outside Quebec have told us. The community services provided by and for the minority in a majority setting are what matters most.
Mr. Shea, are the anglophone minority communities in rural areas in Quebec telling you something different from what the Montreal communities are telling you, for instance?
