Yes, because I really believe that there is this fallacy out there that somehow social enterprise is there to completely replace the whole social safety net system that we have in the country. I don't think anybody at the table is suggesting that at all.
I think what we're looking at is whether there are there some additional new and innovative ways to look at ways.... We've heard from many witnesses who are doing some very extraordinary things, quite frankly, across the country. I don't think we should dampen their enthusiasm to look at other ways in which we can possibly deliver in communities the services that are important for people.
I think it's important in all of this testimony not to suggest that we are replacing the direct provision of government services through social enterprise. Social enterprise adds an additional option, an idea, and perhaps a success story in how we can help people across the country.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
