Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The $3 million should be fairly certain because it is part of our base budget. It was the extra few hundred thousand dollars that the department has been scrambling to make up, that we had been providing for the first two years of the program. I am confident we will find some way to maintain the program at the same level of funding as in this current year. However, that will still leave a problem in some communities where there has been more competition for the available dollars. Even if we can come up with exactly the same dollars in some communities, there has been an increase in applications for funding. The regional committees that are making decisions on how the funding should be allocated may face some difficult choices. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
