Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Gentlemen, thank you for being here.
Earlier I had a conversation with Mr. Lussier that was off the record.
He said that major discussions had taken place on the communities. From what we hear, the communities have significant needs. There is the concept of “by and for” that we discussed earlier. The people from those communities rightly want more resources so they can provide more services.
That is not in contradiction with what is already being done, but I imagine the discussions in your department must focus on the question whether these people can be given more money or resources so they can provide more services. What difference would there be between those two ways of doing things, that is to say between the current way things are done and the idea of giving those communities more resources so they can provide more services?
