Representative, Outaouais Region, Réseau des tables régionales des groupes de femmes du Québec

I can tell you that four out of 17 regions in Quebec have had their applications suspended. Right now, the applications are at Status of Women Canada, and everything has been suspended following the changes in criteria. Already, these are four regions out of 17, and the applications of the network in general do not meet the criteria right now. We are not here to judge the way these criteria will be administered, but to ask you to make sure that we can continue to receive funding, because our work does impact our communities.

Thank you.
