I believe the Standing Committee on Social Programs has asked me and other Ministers responsible for the homelessness plan to come and meet with them and it’s scheduled for Monday. I want to say, in answering the Member’s question, that in the most recent year we provided $1.3 million in combination to the SideDoor, Centre for Northern Families, Salvation Army, a whole slew of emergency shelter funding, about half-a-million dollars for transitional housing funding; we provide funding to Bailey House. The Homelessness Assistance Fund and Small Community Homeless Fund are about $100,000 to $200,000, so in comparison, we need to make our inroads into funding smaller communities. Thank you.
