This was posted to the French Chesstalk yesterday by J-R Boutin. I have translated it to post here. What's going on?

Hello!
In mid-March I refereed the COM of Trois-Rivières which was listed CFC and FIDE. and a few days later I sent the reports for the CFC and FIDE ratings to the Canadian federation. The tournament was rated 10 days later. A month later the committee and I never received the bill, so I contacted the CFC again and here is their answer:

Sorry J.-R.
I am a little behind in the paperwork.
I will follow up tomorrow or tomorrow.

Best regards,

On April 27th and May 11th I again emailed the CFC without an answer. After more than 2 months, the COM Committee has never paid the CFC and FIDE rating fees for the COM 2019. After that, it can be said that the CFC has financial difficulties. Are there other Quebec organizers who have tournaments rated for free by the CFC and FIDE?
