Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, if I may go back a little way here, the funding that was established for the youth was essentially put into MACA because the same Minister that was responsible for youth was also the Minister of MACA. It showed a coordination between the two. However, when there was a change in portfolios, the funding did not follow the Minister back to his portfolio, so it is still with MACA. However, the programs that he had designed and he had in mind for the youth funding were created by the Minister of Youth.

As the Minister, I still intend to follow up on what his programs and plans were, at the same time keeping in mind, as the Member said, that there is going to be a tendency to overlap with Education, and possibly Health, as to what programs we can come up with that benefit youth. The only connection I could see myself as the department in this is youth in the sense of sport and recreation. That would be my mandate as far as youth is concerned, but I will certainly work with the other departments, including the Minister responsible for Youth, so as to take the best advantage of this funding without duplication.
