Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for their contribution to this study.
According to Dr. Weber, social finance is clearly not a panacea or a tool that is going to revolutionize social policy as we know it and help us meet the challenges that are out there.
Dr. Weber, I listened to you closely. You put things in perspective. We have been under the impression that social finance is the magical tool that will truly solve all of today's social problems.
There are many pitfalls, including one related to the fact that we do not have enough data on the use of SIBs, or Social Impact Bonds. In your study, you say that we mustn't go too quickly and that we must take precautions before moving forward with social finance.
I would like your opinion on one thing in particular. When we talk about social finance and social programs run by non-profit organizations, and taking care of people who are having difficulties for example, what does an organization stand to gain from social finance when it has the means to do its work?
