Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
The motion is very broad, and I support it. And we could even go as fast as possible at the first opportunity.
Mr. Godin seems to mean that someone has a problem, and that it's them or that it's us. Politically, that causes a problem. You have to look at the machine. How is it that it is having trouble handling the organizations' applications? Are there too many stages to go through before the decision is made? That's what we have to know.
If we want to give them an adequate response, we can't simply say they're responsible, or that we are. We have to know why the machine doesn't work. How is it that, when organizations file an application, there are perhaps 25 stages to go through and delays? That's what I want to know.
If that's Mr. Rodriguez' goal, if that's what we have to examine, we must make a recommendation to reduce the number of stages. We have to be able to make a recommendation. I don't agree that we should come up with a recommendation such as, “It's them or it's us.” I want to be able to study the machine, to invite officials to testify, to ask them how they operate when they receive an application, where they then send it, who responds, how much time it takes between the two of them, why it isn't ready on time, why a decision can't be given in one month. Perhaps there's a problem in the machine. That's what we have to study. If there is one, we have to find a solution.
I agree with Mr. Rodriguez, but we have to proceed precisely and exhaustively in order to come to a solution. Consequently, the people who have testified this morning will be able to say that it's very possible they won't get it this year, but that, on the first occasion, there may perhaps be a meeting where we'll be able to find a solution. That's what I want. I believe Mr. Rodriguez wants that as well.
