Mr. Chairman, Ms. Yelich, I'm delighted the department is telling me that. It's more than the Treasury Board told us; it's more than the department has told us. The Treasury Board told us that $13.8 million was being taken out of the social development partnerships program. That program makes it very clear that a major part of its role is to serve people with disabilities. Absent any further information, one has to assume that some disability programs are somehow going to be affected.
Going back to your first point, I certainly don't disagree with the right of any government.... The budget process is about government deciding what its priorities are. What I object to is government ignoring commitments that the state has entered into. The accord and the codes were not documents that belonged to the previous government. They are state documents; they were commitments by the state to a relationship with a sector that is critical to this country. That's what I object to, Mr. Chairman.
