Sure.
The details of the emergency support fund haven't been fully released yet, so it is hard to comment on how exactly it will address the needs of the sector. I know for health charities like ours, the impacts we feel are across all parts of what we do. For example, we're the largest investor in cancer research after the federal government, and as we have to cut research budgets, we'll be granting less to Canada's research community at universities and hospitals where they're doing cancer research that is saving lives and improving survival rates.
In addition to research, we'll be cutting back on support services that very often address the needs of the most vulnerable Canadians, such as, for example, people who have difficulty accessing their treatments because they live in remote communities or have economic disadvantages. They look to non-profit organizations to help them access the basic health care that we all need. We'll also be reducing our advocacy work. We do a lot of work in partnership with government on many things—currently, e-cigarettes, vaping and tobacco—that ultimately protect the health of Canadians and have a very wide-ranging impact on people's health and, ultimately, on the strain to our health care system.
All of those are examples for the Canadian Cancer Society, but the full spectrum of what charitable organizations contribute is almost too great to describe, as is the impact we all have. We all benefit from the charitable sector in different ways in our lives.
