Mr. Speaker, on September 27th, 2006, Volunteer Canada had a conference call with all their provincial, territorial and local network programs and members, and they talked to the people that were affected by these federal program cuts. They are recommending against fighting the Government of Canada on their decision to cease funding for Canada volunteer initiatives, and they're recommending that the affiliated groups lobby for continued investment to the volunteer sector through a vehicle program of the new government's discretion and design. We are doing our share to advocate on their behalf. We are lobbying the federal Ministers and the federal government and we will continue to support them and do what we can to help out. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
