Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the question but again it is another example of how Liberal members are really trying to deflect what is taking place in the debate. They are shifting the attack and now saying is it not non-profits that are somehow at fault.
I have a long history of close to 30 years of working with non-profit organizations and NGOs. I can tell the member that non-profit societies in terms of their democracy, in terms of their transparency, are probably the best model that we have in the country of how things should work. If the member wants to look for where there is corruption or where there is mismanagement then perhaps he should go into the business community, into some of the financial institutions, to see what is going on there.
Of course we expect that non-profits will make applications in good faith, will fulfil those applications and will meet the mandates of the program. The groups I have dealt with spend a huge amount of time doing that and trying to meet all the criteria.
That is not what this issue is about, though. This issue is about the mismanagement of the government, the political mismanagement in the administration of the fund. Why is the member not raising that question?
