Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being here this morning.
Mr. Shea, for your information, the name of your organization was on the list for witnesses that we submitted. We're going to have to sort out why we didn't invite your.... We did have an interest in your group. I'm not sure I understand what happened there.
I felt in your speech that you had a great deal of frustration. I may be wrong, but I'd like you to explain to me what you mean when you say that you had your hands tied behind your back. I don't understand exactly what you meant by that. The federal level and the provincial level have been investing in all communities across Canada. The fact that you have 11 points to eventually invest in, or at least to look for from the government, is not probably.... You know that the government can't always respond to all of the needs of all communities.
I want you to share with us whether you have a priority in those 11 points. What would it be?
