I'll respond very quickly. I see the chair noting the time constraints.
We're huge fans of the community foundation movement and organization. They supported our brief here today, and we work closely with them. They've done an extraordinary job in making Canada a leader worldwide in providing a community-based foundation where donors can give and enjoy a more strategic approach to the community's needs. They are themselves charities, and important charitable organizations.
In terms of the VSI, one of the comments I made is that charity seems to be a little bit off the agenda, and we really hope the government will put it back on. We realize you're a new government and were elected to achieve a very specific set of policy objectives. We'd like to see this among your policy objectives. The VSI was there for a decade, a voluntary sector initiative. It achieved some really great and important gains. Frankly, we feel we don't have a champion or minister responsible, and we encourage you to provide one. The key data sets at Statistics Canada are subject to being cut right now, as we speak, and we're very concerned about that. We'd like to see a champion in cabinet and have brought forward that recommendation already.
