Thank you, Mr. Chair. As I mentioned, we have developed an alternate program of assistance for individuals, and we feel that is the way to go. We can certainly approach the federal government on the basis of recognition, however, as usual, we don't want to pin our total hopes on that. I think it's a case of ensuring that in the interim we do work on alternatives. As I say, we've been working on employability assistance for persons with disabilities with the federal government on this -- HRDC -- and that may offer us funding that would support our financial base, Mr. Chair.
