Yes, we agree.
You receive funding from a lot of different sources. For example, I read that you were funded by Western Economic Diversification Canada, Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada, Industry Canada, Employment and Social Development Canada and the Business Development Bank of Canada. Some organizations are also funded by RDÉE.
I am a chartered accountant, and it seems to me your office must need a lot of resources to meet all the obligations involved in managing this funding.
How do each of you think the federal government can improve matters and meet needs? You must be able to help your clients penetrate new markets, as my colleague said. You are currently experiencing an accounting nightmare with all these minor funding sources.
I agree with Mr. Buck that you are all involved in the job creation, economic growth and long-term prosperity of Canada as a whole for generations to come.
How can we make this more efficient and effective?
Mr. Léger, perhaps you can respond since you contribute a little money.
