Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
I want to echo what Ms. Chabot asked for regarding quantitative measures of the success of the fund. Could you table those with the committee and include the baseline of where you started and where we are today so we can see it? I think Ms. Charles indicated that you're on track, and I just want to see what specific quantitative measures you have.
There was a reporter from the CBC last year, Desmond Brown, who identified that concerns were being expressed by Black-led organizations that their funding applications were being rejected because they didn't qualify. I want to know how the department defines “Black-led organizations”. Was there consultation with Black-led organizations and Black communities to establish the definition?
