First, Halifax is a major city for national and international gatherings. Some of those gatherings are bilingual because national or international institutions take part. There's also a whole community, with 15,000 or 20,000 people and eight schools. We are scattered all over the place. So many activities are now happening in French that I cannot attend them all. There are 14 organizations there.
As for private businesses, we are in the process of bringing those 14 organizations together in a work space in downtown Halifax. It's being done in stages. Eventually, the campus of the Université Sainte-Anne will be located there. We also would like the companies setting up shop in the Maritime Centre to be able to provide services in French. Actually, that would be an ideal opportunity to enact this bill.
