Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The decision was made two years ago to fund the program until March 31, 1999. That was a decision that, as part of the regular business planning process, came from the government, was presented to the committees, and was voted on by this Legislature in terms of the allocation of funds. In early April, when we were considering the budget as a new Cabinet, we looked at initiatives that we could undertake given our fiscal situation and felt that the Working Together Program had proved very worthwhile and one that should be continued for one more year. Therefore, this initiative was announced in the budget speech. It is now up to this Legislature to determine whether or not those funds are approved. Thank you, Mr. Speaker
