Province hopes to maintain linguistic profile and boost immigration

ST-ANTOINE - The money is on its way to New Brunswick, and provincial and federal politicians are hoping that more French-speaking immigrants will be close behind.

New Brunswick's wish to see its unique linguistic profile recognized in the immigration process by Ottawa was granted at an announcement in Saint-Antoine yesterday.

And that recognition comes with a $10-million cheque.

The money will be distributed by the province over a four-year period in a bid to bolster the numbers of French-speaking immigrants and help preserve the province's current language composition.

Dont you think we can spend our money to more worthy causes, such as; hospital care, schools..etc ?
