I was going to say that for the moment, the cuts are affecting us indirectly, but that's not entirely true. Some organizations, like the federation, are directly affected by the cuts.
In fact, many organizations no longer have access to a number of programs that were previously helping them. We believe that this is a backward step with respect to the Action Plan for Official Languages.
We are beginning to get worried about what will happen to us. Our organization is working for the development of our communities. Support from the Canadian government is essential, and it is not charity. It is a duty, because it is in Canada's Constitution and in Canada's statutes. The federal government must support the Official Languages Committee. There are historical and national reasons for this, reasons that go back to the founding of the country. If our communities lack vitality, the future of Canada as a whole will be jeopardized. We are worried about what is going to happen to the Action Plan for Official Languages.
