Mr. Chairman, some of the issues that I think communities already know why they are not accessing this funding, because for the amount of money and the amount of work that is required to do a proper and effective job in the community justice, this $20,000 is not seen as a real solid commitment as to the issues you have to get involved in terms of these justice committees operating in the communities.

I have heard it over and over again that the $20,000 that is provided to the communities, for the amount of work that is required, they are expecting people to volunteer their time, energy and effort and go ask different organizations to borrow their phone, computer, faxing, translating. It requires a lot of work. I don’t think this could be asked of our department here on one of their initiatives. For $20,000 over a 12-month period of time when you break it down, you break it down to the amount of days that some of the communities really want to do some good work, but some of them are fed up and frustrated with the amount of support given to them. Translation, coordinators are not there. I look forward to the Minister providing some support and some review as to these justice committees that should be able to work in the communities, providing them proper funding. I want to ask the Minister in terms of how serious is his department to looking at…because this for me is just like a program that is not very well supported by the department by giving each community $20,000 to set up, operate, organize and work within the legal system in the community justice committee with the issues.

Again, I will ask the Minister. I know that on a going-forward basis, but this project is for 2009-10. Status quo is what I am hearing. Is that the correct response I am getting back from the Minister?
