Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am not currently aware of the requests that the Member speaks about, but I will endeavour to inform myself as to how long these denials have been going on. Some of the things they take into consideration is the location of the facility in the community it is in, and the ability for the local group to raise funds privately. In some communities, the solicitation for extra funding to do special projects and things within the community for that centre or that program is greater because the community is larger and they can access other sources of money to do the work. Sometimes they volunteer to do the work or get contributions privately. Some of the things we look at is the availability of other sources of resources for making repairs or enhancement of the program.
