Mr. Chairman, I do not expect that anything I say is going to influence what people will decide to do with this motion. I would remind Members that we sat during the break discussing the problems of off-loading, where we get off-load and do not have the money we would like to have to deliver the service that has been off-loaded. Although this motion is being worded in such a way that it is not just friendship centres, but other things that this money would be used for, what you are really doing is trying to fill a gap left by the federal government because it is not giving the friendship centres the amount of money they should receive. We are picking up the slack, and we keep on doing it. I wanted to make that point. Thank you.
