Once again, we don't have a complete list of businesses that will be affected, but if I understand correctly, there are still a large number of truly national businesses that will be affected by the Use of French in Federally Regulated Private Businesses Act. These companies have francophone teams elsewhere in the country. I think there's a way for regions to support one another so that services can be provided in areas designated as regions with a strong francophone presence.
This doesn't necessarily address the right to work in French in these regions, but I think that can be developed over time. If, first of all, services can be provided in designated areas, there may even naturally be a redistribution of staff so that, in those designated areas, we can attract staff who want to work in French from across the country.
