On the issue of advocacy, I'd just like to add, Mr. Chair, that Canada has a bijural Constitution. In other words, we have two forms of law, and there is no barrier in Quebec civil law to advocacy for charitable organizations. So it is an unusual step for a minister to take to make that kind of statement on behalf of one side of government rather than on behalf of both of our governments. So with respect to the bijural situation, I think it is a point that needs to be brought forward.
Regarding our own case, with respect to Canadian Policy Research Networks, we are neutral, non-partisan. We do not advocate policy positions. It is not just me as the president who says this. I am repeating to you words that have been used in third-party evaluations of the work we've accomplished. CPRN has had third-party analysis from various sources, which was commissioned by the Government of Canada to evaluate whether or not we've provided value for money. The overwhelming result was that yes, indeed, we are innovative, non-partisan, and neutral, and we are a place that allows Canadians to really understand what policy options are going to mean for them.
