I'm a member from British Columbia, and I just received an email from the Fédération des francophones de la Colombie-Britannique. It says our province would be completely abandoned by the method suggested in the proposed regulations for the federal government to determine if a region has a strong francophone presence, affecting, among other things, the offer of banking services, despite the growth of our community, and going against the modernization of the act, which was to emphasize the protection of French.
The federation isn't happy, because it doesn't affect the francophone community. We also received comments from Toronto, where francophones are under-represented. It's the same thing in Vancouver.
Could you comment further on that?
