Mr. Chairman, with regard to the number of dollars in this specific activity, the number of dollars remains exactly the same. However, I want to say that in conjunction with moving towards allowing the social service workers in the community to do the job of counselling and being involved and having the time to deal with child sexual abuse, there will be more time allocated at the community level through the social worker program. I believe in certain areas we have mental health workers as well, which are established positions; these people, in conjunction with social service workers, will be dedicating more time to the area of child sexual abuse, so even though the figure here hasn't increased, the anticipation is that the time that is made available at the community level will increase. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
