Through the Department of Canadian Heritage, the Government of Canada is currently holding public consultations, pretty much across the country, on the government's role and on the outcome of the roadmap, the strategic plan for official languages. The consultation process will wrap up in March 2013. The possibility of another iteration is under consideration.
Mr. Moore is travelling throughout the country and talking to people. The outcome seems to be quite positive. Keep in mind that francophones, historically speaking, have always come together to strengthen their community.
That is all the more important for them when they live in minority communities. Take Nova Scotia for example. Cheticamp is a very small and very remote minority community. Residents have joined forces to enhance their economic development.
Without federal support for these communities, I think they will have trouble surviving, and I am not alone in that view. The people who are there think so as well.
