I'm going to give a little historical background. When the Acadians came back to Nova Scotia after the expulsion, the English-speaking government made sure that they were scattered all over the province so that they would not have any political heft. That is exactly what happened. Today, Acadians can be found from one end of the province—in Baie Sainte-Marie, in Argyle—to the other—in Cheticamp and Richmond. There's even an Acadian community in Sydney. We are really scattered. The image we use is that we keep the province afloat on the sea because we are at both ends. It's an eight- or nine-hour drive from one end of the island to the other. We are very far removed from each other.
In terms of communications, some regions have no cellphone service. If you are travelling around Tor Bay, for example—a new Acadian community—you will get completely lost if you rely on your GPS, because it disappears halfway. You have to know where you are going. So communication service has to be improved.
In terms of education and provincial and federal services, things are difficult because it's not about one community, it's about 12 communities.
