Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I would be happy to review with the Members at some point at their leisure, the report that was done by the Financial Management Board Secretariat which identified those that were eligible through statutory obligations for forced growth increases and those that were NGOs that were not. Madam Chair, we certainly don't want to destroy the viability of some of the NGOs who provide good service, but there are some NGOs that we work with and receive good service from who are quite large. If we were to simply provide all of the NGOs that we work with with forced growth increases, it could be very expensive. Madam Chair, I would be happy to sit down with the committee and go through that review again. If there are some that Members feel we should reconsider, then I am open to reconsidering them. Thank you.
