I spoke with them when I did my tour and I went to visit them and heard their concerns and frustrations at that time.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1679702\" data-originallang=\"fr\">When we talk about very small organizations, the amounts are $10,000 or $15,000. You have to do a lot of work simply to keep alive a small organization whose purpose is to help francophones in a very small community. And the services that are created to help Canadians are very important; I understand that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1679703\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I did my tour, we listened to the concerns, like those you have here in the committee, and we made a number of changes. I completely agree with the idea of eliminating administrative barriers and the idea of having people in the regions who can say yes or no to investments more quickly.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1679701\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ce n'est pas une mauvaise suggestion du tout. Je parle \u00e0 des organismes, moi aussi, qu'il s'agisse de celui de Terre-Neuve ou de ceux des autres r\u00e9gions. J'ai parl\u00e9 avec eux quand j'ai fait mes tourn\u00e9es et que je suis all\u00e9 les visiter chez eux. J'ai alors entendu leurs pr\u00e9occupations et leur frustration.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1679702\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Quand on parle d'organismes tr\u00e8s petits, les montants sont de 10 000 $ ou 15 000 $. Il faut faire beaucoup de travail simplement pour maintenir en vie un petit organisme dont le but est d'aider les francophones dans une tr\u00e8s petite communaut\u00e9. Et les services qui sont cr\u00e9\u00e9s pour aider les Canadiens sont tr\u00e8s importants, je le comprends.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1679703\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'ai fait mes tourn\u00e9es, on a \u00e9cout\u00e9 les pr\u00e9occupations, comme celles que vous avez ici, au comit\u00e9, et on a fait plusieurs changements. Je suis compl\u00e8tement d'accord sur l'id\u00e9e d'\u00e9liminer des barri\u00e8res administratives et sur l'id\u00e9e d'avoir des personnes dans les r\u00e9gions qui peuvent dire oui ou non plus rapidement aux investissements.</p>"
