Mr. Speaker, I responded to this question in the House earlier, before Christmas. I accepted that there were administrative problems with the decisions that the hon. member is actually making. That is why to me it is so important to undertake the six point plan, to implement it, to improve the administration of grants and contributions in my department because it is the foundation for these important contributions that the Government of Canada makes in the lives of Canadians.
In the House of Commons on February 29th, 2000. See this statement in context.
