Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I am not sure we've entertained it. We certainly haven't entertained it in this year's budget. The friendship centres are funded through a formula that's provided through the federal government. The federal government has various ways to provide funding to these centres. Some of it is for capital, some of it is for training and some of it is core. We haven't really provided. We do, on some occasions through different government departments, provide some money to support different programs and different initiatives, but we, as a department, have not considered providing core funding to a program that's considered federal at this point.
