     The St. Thomas Aquinas Society met with the Minister of Regional Economic 
     
     Expansion and the Premier of the province in 1980 to request that the third 
     
     phase of the Plan include a program of development related specifically to the 
     
     Acadian communities. As a result of this meeting, the Minister set up a program 
     
     of one million dollars, spread over a period of three years (1981-1984), for 
     
     economic development in the French-Acadian communities on the Island.
