Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank all the participants for laying out their game plans, so to speak.
My first question is for the representatives of the Conseil québécois des entreprises adaptées. Mr. Gouin and Ms. Brisson, I have just learned that we live in the same neighbourhood. I am very pleased to meet you for the first time, here at the Concorde.
In my opinion, with regard to your mission, I think the term “self-funding” does not do you justice because what you do is much more productive than that since it helps our community. I commend you on your mandate and encourage you to pursue it.
In order to properly assist you, could you tell me exactly what the council needs in terms of money to continue?
I will tell you my second question right away. How many companies are waiting? When requests are made, there has to be a problem, yet I do not see a problem in your operation. I would like more specific information.
