I understand that and I'm not overly concerned with that as long as there is a commitment from the department to make sure that the coroner's office gets the resources they need to do their job. Also, I think the Minister will agree, the job of a coroner is a difficult one, at times quite unpleasant. I think we have an obligation to do everything we can to support the coroners, especially the coroners who are in the smaller communities. I'm just looking for that commitment from the Minister that if the money is not adequate and funding is not here in the budget, that the department will ensure that the coroner's office will be able to carry out their functions.
