I know that the contract we had with them was for up until the end of this month and it was to help do community service work, as I understand it, and to do work placements and that sort of thing. I'm not certain if the contract is going to be renewed. It is my expectation that there would be discussions to renew the contract. I have no information to suggest that it is not going to be renewed, but the contract runs out at the end of the month. So, if there were discussions to renew it or to extend it, I don't know the status of them. If the Member is saying they've been turned down flat, he knows more than I do at this time.

The confusion may be that this is a separate proposal altogether. It is my understanding that there was a three year proposal for -- I can't remember -- $350,000 or $400,000. If the Minister could perhaps look into it and give me the information back, we'll take it from there.

It's occurred to me that maybe we are talking about something separate altogether.
