Mahsi, Mr.
Chair. This
area will be offset by contribution funding received from the federal government through the Aboriginal Justice Strategy initiative, which will be a vested interest in supporting programs outside a formal justice system, onto the communities.
Basically, this puts back into this particular program that we’re referring to. We are highlighting areas where we need to be creative and where we can improve in certain areas and where we can be cost-effective with our program delivery. We are maximizing our efforts into the communities, especially with respect to the programming. That’s part of the reason why we’re putting this forward, because we are getting federal funding that does offset these costs that are before us.
Mr. Chair, I’d just like to highlight, for the record, that there is money coming in from the feds that do offset this particular cost. Mahsi.
