Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank you for coming today as per our request to discuss this. I appreciate the acknowledgement of the mistakes that have been made in this program. I think we've certainly seen them at the community level. I don't accept that they were inevitable. Many of us had warned that these new criteria were going to be difficult for not-for-profits, but we certainly don't blame the bureaucrats in this process. Some ministers in the government have blamed the bureaucrats.
