In Nova Scotia's new francophone region, the population density in the Dartmouth area of Halifax is really growing. The problem we have in Nova Scotia is that the francophone community accounts for just 10% or less than 10% of the population. When I was a provincial minister and we introduced the bill on French-language services in Nova Scotia, it was about 16%.
We worked closely with the regions we just mentioned—Argyle, both the lower and upper parts, Yarmouth to the north, Richmond and Chéticamp. These are the main historic regions where we wanted to have French-language services.
How are we going to regulate or ensure that services are accessible? There is an issue related to the region and accessibility and to whether they will enforce the law in these areas.
