Thank you, Madam Chair.
Minister, I'm going to make amends. I take that back. I don't think my 14-month-old son would have understood the question. I don't think he would have cut 15% of his budget either, but that's another story.
Quebec organizations receive a marginal share of Veterans Affairs Canada funding, despite the large veteran population in Quebec. We have the second-largest veteran population in Canada. Let's take the example of Le Sentier, an organization in my riding, in Mirabel. It provides tangible assistance to a number of veterans, but it has to fight to get adequate funding.
Why do your managers refer veterans to these organizations without giving those organizations the financial means they need to carry out their mission?
