Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday, Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Health and Social Services referred to a community action fund in its discussion regarding the budget, and from the unedited Hansard the context is: "That is why the social envelope Ministers" -- this is reading from the unedited Hansard -- "recommended a community action fund to help community groups test their ideas." The reason for that is "...there is a need to try new approaches to deal with priorities in areas such as family violence, early intervention and services to youth." It also says : "The viability of such a fund and the means of raising the money need to be discussed." With that, can the Minister of Finance tell us exactly what is involved in this community action fund? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
