One of the priorities we discussed was precisely the question of cuts. I presume, Mr. Lemieux, that you are on the government's side. You are therefore perhaps in a position to answer the question, because as Ms. Nadeau was saying earlier, we were never consulted. These cuts directly affect the francophone and Acadian population in the Atlantic provinces; no doubt about it. We do not have the answers because we were not consulted. We would like to suggest some answers to you, such as going back on your decision, as Mr. Gauthier was suggesting, because it is really doing some damage.
