These are minor things, minister. For example, you'll remember talking about the Congrès mondial acadien. A week before that event, the political parties were forced to intervene so that Newfoundland could get money to send delegates to the Congrès mondial acadien. Does that make any sense?
Minister, your intentions are good. However, someone in the hierarchy is keeping the documents on his desk and not doing his job. It makes no sense. As you said, FedEx can leave Ottawa and get to Newfoundland in the same day. It's senseless that a document should take two to three months to get to its destination. Your intentions are good, you say you agree. I'm sure that, if the document appears before you, you'll sign it, but someone somewhere isn't doing his job at Canadian Heritage.
And I don't think it's someone in Moncton, Newfoundland or in those places. I think that it's here in Ottawa, that there are too many offices receiving documents, which go from one place to another but don't go directly to you.
