I'll take your answer at its best blush and say you didn't intend to save money, but I'm guessing that is one of the objectives when you use the word “efficient”.
I will say this. In the communities, there is great push-back to the idea of these local service providers being terminated, because they knew the community best. It's probably why, unless you can re-answer the question with more meat on the bone, you didn't communicate and consult with any of the cultural or societal organizations in Atlantic Canada. You did not consult with the SNA or the SANB in New Brunswick or their counterparts in Nova Scotia. I've been interrupting you, and I apologize, but so far you've only dealt with some of the regional economic development agency groups in, for instance, Nova Scotia. But across Atlantic Canada, what you're doing to rural areas, and particularly to francophone areas, is not going over well. You're not enhancing your image with respect to providing bilingual services or rural services.
What would you say to that? I think the government should be aware of this.
