Thank you for the question.
First, our part of Ontario is the Far North. Sudbury is in the Mid‑North. Several witnesses have referred to this.
If the question were asked here, in the Far North, we would say that, obviously, it has made a difference. In the consultations regarding the creation of the Université de l'Ontario français, which took place starting in 2017, we were asked what we thought about it. At that time, we responded that, if we didn't have this type of educational institution in the Far North, we would have strongly argued for the right to have something of that nature. We would certainly support the creation of an equivalent entity for central southwestern Ontario, which really didn't have many services. Those are two examples. Now we're wondering about this matter in Sudbury because of what happened with Laurentian University. That could be a third example.
Francophones have the reflex and the right to make requests, to do things their way and to ensure that their needs are met.
