Well, Madame, this government in any action it has taken has never muzzled any individual Canadian citizen or group from expressing its views. We have not, by changing the terms and conditions of a program, muzzled anyone or taken away their right or their ability to express their views to each other, to the media, to their members of Parliament, or to any politician or person who has any participation in assisting their positions.
What this government has said is that taxpayers' dollars will not, through the programs available to women, be used at this point for funding of advocacy organizations. That does not mean that the advocacy organizations cannot continue their advocacy, as many groups do in Canada that represent the views and concerns of many sectors of the Canadian population.
I just want to be clear: we have not taken away that right and the opportunities they have, just like everyone else has, to express their views and to bring forward their points of concern. What we're saying now is that taxpayers' dollars dedicated in this area will be dedicated to organizations that will be able to provide direct help to women in their individual communities.
