Thank you very much, Madam Minister. But the outcome remains that only 11% of the funding went to Quebec organizations that can work not only in Haiti, but also in francophone African countries, for example, and all over the world where Canada has a presence.
In fact, Madam Minister, we know that, over the past few months, you have met with many private sector representatives. Yesterday, I met with representatives from the Association québécoise des organismes de coopération internationale (AQOCI). That is the largest network of development organizations in Quebec. I am sure you are familiar with their work.
Having said that, those people told me that they wanted to meet with you on a number of occasions, but to no avail. Then they wanted to meet with Minister Lebel, Minister Paradis, representatives from Quebec, but they were not able to do so.
Madam Minister, could you make a commitment to devote as much time and energy to Quebec cooperation organizations as you devote to other organizations, such as private companies?
Thank you, Madam Minister.
