Thank you, Mr. Chairman. One of the objectives is to provide support programs for community-based suicide prevention awareness programs. Any type of funding from the government to communities are always welcome, especially when the communities do not have that many resources. In most communities funding is needed, Mr. Chairman. I guess the community-based program is better than any other program because the communities know the problem. They live in the community, they know the people and they know the problem. I am wondering if the Minister would indicate to me which communities would be given some funding. Is it the municipality that wishes to use their own initiative to deal with their own problems, or is it a group, such as a youth group or a community social services committee? If any other group in the community wishes to go after funding through a proposal, what is the procedure? Does the community go through the regional office to receive some funding from headquarters or would the community group be able to apply for funding through the Minister's office? Thank you.
