Thank you.
Yesterday, Sipi Flamand, the chief of the community, was on the Hill. He was able to speak with Minister Gull‑Masty. He was able to speak directly with the Prime Minister about this matter a few weeks ago. So we hope that the government will be able to meet his needs.
On another completely different topic, you have no idea how disappointed I felt when I saw, at the end of last week, the decision by your colleague, the Minister of Industry—the member opposite me—to cut back on what you promised two years ago. You promised to provide support for organizations that champion consumer rights, such as Option consommateurs and Union des consommateurs.
You said, two years ago, when you were Minister of Industry, that you would triple the support and that you would commit $5 million a year over five years. It has been two years now, and everything has been cut. This is taking resources away from these organizations, which carry out incredibly important work on shrinkflation, air passenger rights, and so on.
Can the government reconsider this penny‑pinching decision?
