When I was a provincial MLA for Ontario, a lot of money was invested in similar causes, without mentioning these organizations in particular.
What's the role of a province in providing funding?
Many people turn to the federal government for funding. It's normal and understandable, because you're working on important issues. By the way, I'm not just talking about you, but about all the other witnesses who have come before us. I'm not saying that's the case here, but having been a provincial MLA, I know that there are many cases and files that must be resolved in part, if not in full, by provincial governments.
In your opinion, what is the role of the provinces, in general, with regard to the causes you defend?
