Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I guess just one point. Some communities with small populations, like Kakisa for example, the crime rate is very low; very minimal. But they get the same amount of base funding as one of my communities where we have high youth crime rates, and justice committees are really busy and they do a lot of really good work in the community to address the community justice initiatives and carry out the program. It's a very successful program, mind you, Mr. Speaker, but the fact remains that the justice coordinators are severely overworked and the committees are severely overbooked and under funded. I just don't think it's up to the justice committee, justice coordinators, to scramble and find additional funding from the federal government or anything. I think it should be on the Justice department to assist them to find that extra funding. Give them the ideas of where they can get that money. Is there any avenue for that kind of support mechanism, just information sharing-wise? Thank you.
