Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will be voting in favour of the motion, but I think Mr. Henry does have a legitimate comment. First of all, on the issue of refining, I do believe that the department within itself can find certain amounts of money, as well. I am supportive of ensuring that more money be dedicated to this type of program, no question in my mind that it is needed, but, certainly within bureaucracies, we can always find and refine. I also agree with Mr. Henry that it is important to keep us informed on this side of the House on social matters. This is an extremely important area and throughout the year, I think the committee can devote itself a little more attentively to this, but I am supportive of this initiative. Thank you.
