Official Languages committee  We supported two projects with the commission. The first one was to develop a strategy around five poles. The five poles were in southeast New Brunswick, southwest Nova Scotia, the Acadian peninsula, Cape Breton—my home area in Chéticamp and l'Île Madame—and the Evangeline region in Prince Edward Island.

Official Languages committee  Yes, just to put a finer point on it. I think this is an important comment. The preliminary results that we're seeing from the evaluation are showing us that 95% of the beneficiaries of the economic development initiative have increased their capacity in their business or in their community.

Official Languages committee  I really do think we can manage the situation with the resources available to us.

Official Languages committee  Mr. Godin, we are working closely with the Government of New Brunswick.

Official Languages committee  We have entered into agreements with the Government of New Brunswick to achieve the new objective. I can, however, tell you about the good results we have achieved through this project.

Official Languages committee  Under the immigration project, which totals $10 million, 400 immigrants have settled in various regions, including yours.

Official Languages committee  I do not entirely understand your question. In the other provinces, we do not have agreements like the one currently in effect in New Brunswick relating to immigration. However, to answer your question about the CBDCs specifically, I would point out that they are not under provincial jurisdiction.

Official Languages committee  Thank you for your question. We are aware that francophone immigration is a priority for francophone communities in New Brunswick. Several factors have contributed to this delay. The first was the initial delay in allocating funds. As you know, the funds actually became available in May 2009.
