Thank you. I can appreciate that.
Having looked at that funding, I see that the majority of it stays east, largely in Quebec. When the minister talks about social cohesion and our country being unified, part of that is making sure that dollars flow east and west and don't just get caught up in the larger centres or in eastern Canada as a whole. I think that's just a note of caution for those at the table.
My next question has to do with the anti-hate network.
Minister Guilbeault appeared here at this committee on September 24. He was asked a question with regard to the Anti-Hate Network. It's reported and well known that the Anti-Hate Network received about $1 million in federal grants from 2020 onward. We also know that they target pro-life Catholics as well as conservatives under the pretext of exposing “neo-Nazis”.
Further to that, the Liberal government's current Minister of Public Safety has said that they have in fact found bias within the network, and in 2022, a small claims court judge accepted evidence that the Canadian Anti-Hate Network assisted antifa, which is an incredibly violent organization as well.
The minister at the time committed that he would undertake a review of this organization and whether they should be receiving funding. Has that review been completed? That commitment was made by the minister on September 24 here at the committee.
