Listening to my colleague Cyrilda's presentation, I thought I could name five of the 22 organizations that experienced the same situation last summer. They have to close offices for two months because the cheque is supposed to arrive in September. We've just asked when the agreement will be put in place. We can do nothing before the agreement is signed. They always say it's 99% guaranteed, but the money isn't there until it's signed. Some people close their offices for two or three months during the summer because there isn't any money. Sometimes there are lines of credit, but most often they use personal lines of credit. That's the reality.
