Yes, Mr. Speaker. As I've indicated, we have a base level of funding for all communities. I think it's $20,000 available to every community, but some communities have levered additional federal money, and also others have applied for special project funding and been successful. I know that two of the communities the Member is responsible for have accessed some special project funding, but I think we're going to have a look at adequacy and look at how our funding is targeted. We do want to make sure that those who are working hard and pushing forward a number of initiatives have the resources they need. But, having said that, I don't want to diminish that base level of support for all communities. We're trying to encourage those who haven't been as active to get more active, because we think that this is a vital part of our programming. Thank you.
