Mr. Jacques Paquette at the Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities Committee

There will be no difference in the transfer of funds for the communities. The amounts will be the same. The decrease in the budget is mainly related to the fact that we have redirected how we operate within the department to do things better and lower costs. Furthermore, the fact that planning can be done on a five-year basis will lower costs for the communities and for us.
