I agree with what was said. We went through the same thing in Quebec, where there was a certain perception that this was a partisan issue. There have been changes in government, including in municipal governments that have been supporting the social economy.
I would say this is a good opportunity for us to be able to explain to the new Conservative government that this is good for government, even from the perspective of saying we want less government; this is communities taking in hand some of the social and economic issues that normally and traditionally people like myself perhaps would be asking government to do. It's a question of individual and collective responsibility, so in many ways I think this is a very profitable kind of investment for all governments, and I hope that through these hearings and further discussions you will be able to understand how we can contribute to your attaining your objectives.
