Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I initially was thinking that because they reprofiled the money and went in front of committee with the reprofile and just listening to the Minister’s arguments that they’re looking at assisting and augmenting some of the programs that we have in the regions and the communities, that’s something that I certainly would like to see, and I think Mr. Bromley, the mover of the motion, was quite adamant about not setting up another steering committee and making a bureaucratic process. Of course, it’s a concern for all MLAs, that the last

thing we need is more government, but at the same time, should the government keep to their reprofiling commitment of helping our communities?

I’ve got a riding with many small communities that take pride in their nutritious programs with whatever little resources that they do have. So just with that, Mr. Chair, I cannot support this motion for deleting $400,000 with respect to this line item. Thank you.
