Viviane LaPointe at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

I'm glad you asked that question because that was a concern raised when we had the debate in the chamber.

I actually went back and did some further consultations with agencies. What they told us was that because most of their funding comes from federal, provincial or municipal grants, they have to keep track of all of those costs when they submit at the end of the funding period. They felt there wasn't an additional burden and that all of those costs, those expenses, have to be kept in order for them to continue receiving grants and funding.
