Thank you for the question, Mr. d'Entremont. It will allow me to finish what I wanted to say.
Regarding the dissemination area, as we mentioned, it'll really help to better calculate where francophones are located and to take into account more rural or remote regions where there is a concentration of francophones. That's what's important. We'll then be able to ensure that people are served in their language and that they can also work in French. We also see, in the case of francophone immigration, how important it is to offer services and job opportunities in French.
When consulting our report, you'll see that on the map, there are clusters with a strong francophone presence across the country, but they aren't calculated quite the same way as Canadian Heritage calculates it.
The main problem, as you know, since you are from Nova Scotia, is that French speakers are scattered everywhere. It's kind of the same thing for Toronto, which is also given as an example. Toronto is a city, and it is not listed anywhere here, even though francophones also live there; it is the city with the most francophones in Canada, but they do not all live in the same neighbourhood. That's why we need to find other ways to count francophones, and that's why we are also suggesting the idea of including provincial and territorial capitals.
