Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I'm going to ask you a few simple questions. We see the problem is serious. The parliamentary session will be ending soon, likely this week. No doubt you know how things work here in summer: everything runs in slow motion.
What could we do to help you now, so that you don't see any of your organizations shutting down, going bankrupt or laying off employees? I see you are really in serious difficulty and that this has been going on for years. You no doubt often need qualified staff, but it must be hard to recruit them. These people don't want to get involved in an organization that offers no financial security or can't guarantee long-term employment.
Give us some ideas of what we can do, as parliamentarians, to press the government before the House adjourns for the summer in the next few days. That way, we could immediately take concrete action that might help you this summer. Then we could see you again in the fall so to give you some news.
I'm going to hand over to you.
