Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today. I'll start with Ms. Enguehard, and I will come back to certain aspects of your presentation. I will also address our Conservative friends, in particular Mr. Gourde.
Let's take the example of a youth centre in a municipality, and the centre has a budget of $150,000 to $160,000. A regional organization has an assured core budget of $300,000. Here, we're talking about an organization with a mission to defend the interests of one group, in this case, Canada's Acadians. It must also promote the group around the world, so we're talking about core funding of $168,000. Personally, I find that figure astonishing.
In your document, you say that you would like to receive funding comparable to that of other groups that receive assistance from the national envelope. How much funding would you like to have so you can ensure that Canada preserves its Acadian identity, which makes the country what it is, in the same way that Quebec does?
