I will answer you. There were no cuts for official languages. The funds are there. Furthermore, let us take the example of farm assistance programs. We cut $5 million, but there is one little-known fact: there were administrative expenses of $15 million to pay out $11 million. Administrative costs are indeed very high. We did not reduce the programs directly, but cut back on $5 million in administrative expenses. It is almost the same for the other cuts. There have been cuts, but the programs remain, the funds remain, and our government will support your communities and your needs as effectively as possible.
