Doan

Yes, Mr. Chairman, in the corporate and technical services division, there are a number of entries which serve to increase the number. The largest significant increase is as a result of the establishment of the community initiatives program which results in a transfer of $4.8 million to the business development fund. That particular program, community initiatives, is ostensibly the replacement for the old EDA program.

There is also a transfer from EDA to small business grants of $300,000; a $92,000 negative entry reflecting a community transfer initiative; a $100,000 reduction in the business development fund, as requested by the committee, a $125,000 reduction in the small business grants program, as requested by the committee; an overall decrease in O and M of $198,000; a salary reduction of $89,000; and two very small additions, which are adjustments of $8,000 each to two community transfer initiatives.
