Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was pleased to see the Minister respond favourably to Members' request that the funding for student summer employment be added back into this budget.

I am hoping that perhaps because the Minister had not heard about how important Members thought adult basic education was, he would now be prepared to consider doing the same thing in the mains. I think Members feel it is important to ensure we are able to carry out adult basic education.

Knowing there are no additional funds for the Skills for Work program in this interim budget, and knowing all funding for this program will end this Friday, do the non-government organizations that are currently delivering these programs know that there will be no funding available as of next week?
