We have been looking at a number of women's organizations that have been denied funding. When we look at them, they all have one thing in common. Many of these organizations have been working for 15 to 25 years and producing excellent results under that department. They have been denied funding because they dared to speak out against some of the attitudes toward women that have come out of the government and some of the changes in the Status of Women department.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2050801\" data-originallang=\"en\">Everyone know these things. What can one do to ensure the government begins to respect Parliament once again?</p>",

Nous nous sommes pench\u00e9s sur le cas de nombreuses organisations f\u00e9minines auxquelles le gouvernement a refus\u00e9 un financement. Lorsqu'on examine la situation de plus pr\u00e8s, on constate que ces organisations ont toutes une chose en commun. La plupart d'entre elles comptent entre 15 et 25 ans d'existence et fournissent d'excellents r\u00e9sultats si on en croit le minist\u00e8re. Leur demande de financement a \u00e9t\u00e9 rejet\u00e9e parce qu'elles ont os\u00e9 critiquer certaines attitudes du gouvernement \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard des femmes ainsi que certaines modifications apport\u00e9es \u00e0 Condition f\u00e9minine Canada. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2050801\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tout le monde est au courant de ces faits. Que peut-on faire pour que le gouvernement recommence \u00e0 faire preuve de respect \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard du Parlement?</p>"
