When we compare ourselves, we take solace in the fact that the legislative framework in our province is probably the most similar to the zones that have been designated by the proposed regulations.
It must be said that there are still about a dozen regions that have yet to be defined in the regulations. The province would define them as bilingual regions, but not as designated regions where the Use of French in Federally Regulated Private Businesses Act would apply. These include communities such as La Broquerie or Ellice‑Archie, where there's a strong francophone presence, whose history has been recognized by the province, but which are not designated areas under the proposed regulations.
