Thank you, Madam Speaker. The Member is quite correct in saying that he's been raising this concern for quite some time. During the Standing Committee on Finance review, we also discussed the question the Member is asking about. The department has not developed a specific plan to address this priority area, but this does not mean that actions have not been taken. The Member, through the Standing Committee on Finance, would provide a plan of action by the end of October, and there are a number of things, training initiatives and workshops, which are available for these smaller communities. We did make a commitment that we would do something to address some of the inequities that Mr. Antoine is talking about.
