Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we do have some money in the budget for youth initiatives which could apply in some part to the type of meetings that the member refers to. It is extremely limited and it has in the past been used in ad hoc ways without there being much of a strategy as to how it would be used. Because of that, my department this year undertook an effort to study or to have a study done which would provide us with some guidance on how this funding would best be used, and I am expecting to be able to present the information from that study to the Standing Committee on Social Programs with some recommendations for how those funds should be spent in the future before or with the final budget before Christmas this year. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
