Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you all for being here today. It was very interesting to hear your presentations. I liked them all, that of Ms. Fuchs, among others. You cited a lot of actual examples of difficult situations. We must all remember that we are dealing with human beings.
There are a lot of newcomers in my Montreal riding. I've had to deal with a lot of immigration problems. I've always been somewhat surprised to see to what extent the machinery was incapable of compassion and how far people are treated like numbers. Since being appointed the Bloc Québécois' critic, I've been simply astounded by the absurdity of a number of decisions, including some made recently. For example, we had to fight to allow a widow to get a visa to come and pick up her husband's remains in Quebec.
In that respect, the work done by organizations such as yours is quite outstanding. A number of organizations of this kind are doing good work in my riding. I'm convinced you are as well. We addressed the funding issue earlier. In my riding, these organizations just get by, surviving I don't know how.
In view of our society's wealth, do you think that organizations such as yours, which are on the front line when it comes to helping people who need it, receive adequate funding from government and from society?
