For example, I can quote recommendation 3 in the brief we submitted to the committee.
That, when the chosen geographical units mask or could mask genuine concentrations of francophones, complementary methods of designation or application be used in the final regulations to account for the territorial, institutional and functional realities that constitute francophone life in minority situations.
In that sense, we are first raising the question of whether the government will be proactive. In that respect, we are fully supportive of the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne du Canada and the recommendations and complementary tools that have been proposed. We feel that everything would fit together well and would indeed allow an expansion of the criteria for designation when necessary.
