Access for small groups, above all, is what poses a problem. We are small groups and we act locally. For us, it's really access that's lacking. In the past few years, we've been working and we've found nothing to support us, even with this program. It's probably because we're small that we don't have access to these funds. So I recommend that this be made as accessible as possible. Perhaps the process should be simplified. Our recommendation would be to give groups such as ours access.
We were talking about local production, local crops, local consumption. We think this model could be applied across all rural regions in Canada. If there are other groups like ours in other places, they must be experiencing the same difficulties. One of the recommendations would be to facilitate access to this funding to groups like ours.
