Service Canada: Acadians

Administrative Area Dept: Pierre Boudreau said the "outrageous" decision to designate the region as a single anglophone administrative area ignores that New Brunswick is a bilingual province. ''It's a flagrant and disrespectful affront to the Acadian population' Coun. Pierre Boudreau, according to CBC. He also called the move an attack on the 300,000 Acadians in the region and a Moncton city councillor is angry that Service Canada has eliminated the bilingual designation for Atlantic Canada. He said it will be more difficult to attract francophone immigrants to Moncton in particular as a direct consequence of the decision. As reported in the news.
