Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a couple of questions for the Minister of Justice, the Honourable Brendan Bell. I have a couple of questions that I asked him in the last session with some community concerns with the Community Justice Program. I know that the funding, or the lack of funding, for community justice workers and justice committees is seriously inadequate in a lot of the communities. With the rollout of the Youth Justice Act, it has put an extra strain on these committees because some of the caseloads have doubled because, in the Act, it clearly states that the youth cases have to be directed to the local justice committees. Has the funding, or the lack of funding, for these workers and the committees been addressed in this latest budget and been customized to meet the needs of communities? Different communities have different needs and different caseloads. Is that the case, Mr. Speaker? Thank you.
