The reason that congresses like the Canadian Polish Congress exist is to help coordinate that engagement of our member organizations with institutions like Parliament and the Government of Canada. Certainly, at our level, at our board level, we have experienced individuals who understand the nuances and can help navigate these issues with our member organizations. Therefore, we serve as a conduit between the 1.2 million Polish Canadians and the people in the Government in Canada. Even though we're volunteers, we put a lot of effort into making sure that we're representing our community properly and avoiding embarrassment for ourselves and for parliamentarians.
