Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for being here today.
I would like to start with a somewhat technical question. I think it was Mr. Jean-Gilles who talked about the importance of helping the victims of the earthquake. I don't know whether he intended to use that terminology. We often hear debates about clauses adopted by the two levels of government. In their special programs, you have to prove you are a victim of the earthquake, you are affected by the earthquake.
There are arguments pro and con. There are people who say that since there are already a lot of people to help, we should not also be helping people who are not victims of the earthquake. Others say that these are more administrative hassles, and that it is not always easy to prove that one is a victim of the earthquake.
I would like to know what each of you thinks about this requirement.
