There are probably three considerations when we are dealing with this particular matter: the need to assess the needs; the need to address the specific programs which would be required to address the individual; and from that we would be able to address what it would cost to provide those services to those individuals, both in terms of numbers and the extent of the program we have to offer. Until we have the assessments completed, it is very difficult for us to say that we need X amount of money as compared to the dollars we have now, or for that matter it could be far more in terms of the dollars we would require. Only after our assessments are concluded can we better address this particular matter with the honourable Member.
