Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the community action funding was targeted to try to provide funding for projects. In defining the criteria, they decided not to allow for general administration costs in order to maximize the amount of dollars going into the actual programs themselves. However, I recognize the honourable Member has brought up concerns about not having his communities being able to access this because of their request for general administration. But I would like to say that the department would be willing to consider specific costs if they were to be identified within the project applications; things such as direct telephone costs or materials and supplies. But at this time, for general administration overhead costs, we wouldn't be willing to look at that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
