Myself, I have not been approached. However, as Ms. Jacques said, all the organizations in Montreal or Quebec are involved. A grant made it possible for me to round out my year-ends, but since the disaster, the earthquake, I am seeing a lot of women who have suffered trauma, a lot of requests for housing and clothing. As well, many people are coming to see us to help them fill out forms. Because of a lack of financial resources, those people's requests are being denied. I think we should at least receive a grant so we can help those people. The workload is going up, but we can't say no. When a woman in distress comes in, even if it is 5:00 or 6:00 in the evening, I close the office door and I see her. I have no choice.
