We have always found that the department was open-minded. We understand that certain programs need to be worked on, except that some of them need to be reviewed.
Certainly, the Department of Canadian Heritage listens to us. We have a good working relationship with Heritage officials. They also have to deal with paperwork; we are not the only ones to do so. Red tape is costly to everyone: government and communities. They understand that we need to work together, but nothing has been done in that regard until now. The officials have listened to us, and we have made some suggestions, but we really want to work in partnership with the Department of Canadian Heritage to find solutions.
