Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have the benefit of having three Black-led organizations in my community, the NACCA, which is the Newmarket African Caribbean Canadian Association; ABC, which is the Aurora Black Community Association; and the Aurora Black Caucus. I have had a number of conversations with them. I understand, and I hear exactly what we're hearing here as well.
I think we've heard enough in terms of what the drawbacks of this system are, the drawbacks of the systemic problems that you face.
I see that there were four organizations—Tropicana Community Services, Black Business Initiative, the Africa Fund, as well as Groupe 3737. Those are national high-level organizations. What I'm hearing is that organizations like NACCA or the ABC are not getting access because they're grassroots organizations. There's a gap between the distributors of the decision-makers and the people who need the funds because they aren't resourced well enough, and they don't seem to be able to get through.
What recommendations would you have to deal with the gap between the broader distributing group and the people who are actually looking for funding but don't have the resources to apply for the funding?
