Merci, monsieur le président.
I don't know if you like what Mr. Chong said, but is it not scary? It's almost saying the government is not ready to approve money going to communautés, and then go and get the private sector to do it for you. We had all the problems in the world when we started, so why don't you take the same route as we did?
I'm kind of worried about that statement coming from the government side, not that I want to pick on the government this morning, but it comes from government side. I hope he's not speaking for the government, that he's speaking about himself or the suggestion that he wants to give. But is it not scary? The government has a responsibility with the communauté. The government is there to pick up the tax of the taxpayer and is there to distribute the tax. It doesn't belong to a political party; it belongs to Canadians, and they're there to distribute, to have good collectivité and a good country. I personally believe they have the responsibility to do it. It's not acceptable—and I think that's what I hear from you this morning, from all of you—that we only get 25%, and then we have to make those reports, we have to make applications, and we don't have the staff to do it.
How can we be productive if all that's going on at the same time?
