Madam Chair, the amounts transferred during the crisis to Quebec, the provinces and the territories obviously could have been increased. I thank my colleague for her question. I would like to commend her work as former chair of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. This summer, the committee examined the impact of the pandemic on women and girls. We heard from some organizations that said that some of the programs could have indeed been improved. Organizations also talked about the lack of predictability, the fact that programs are far too short term, which means they cannot plan for the long term. They talked about the importance of transferring more money.
