Thank you, Madam Chair.
First of all, let me say the NDP has been openly critical of both the amount of money that has been cut from various programs and the process. I will make no bones about the fact that we've been very critical of what we believe to be ideologically driven cutting, hacking, and slashing. We can only conclude that the newly elected government is trying to punish certain NGOs, certain centre-left organizations that don't agree with the political ideology of the new government.
