I almost called a point of order on myself.

---Laughter

Almost. Mr. Speaker, I don't know what to say. If I were to nail the Premier's feet down, he would still out dance me. He would still out dance me, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, I have people telling me their organizations are struggling because they put application after application in every year and they are waiting for the certainty at the 11th hour of March 31st.

Mr. Speaker, this government can shift with the times. This government can work with these organizations. This government has that mandate. We can address it. Mr. Speaker, can the Premier say today that he will work on this problem for creating the certainty that the NGOs are saying they want stabilized, clear funding? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
