Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Madam Minister. I am pleased to see you here today.

Madam Minister, on December 23, you announced some $142 million for new development projects. I am not sure whether you have looked at the statistics and realized that just over 11% of that money goes to Quebec NGOs.

Madam Minister, do you feel that percentage reflects the place of Quebec and of linguistic duality in Canada?
