Mr. Chairman, earlier today, a number of times there has been talk of a transition into the next government. Clearly, government coming in can review their definitions and standards they put in place to make changes. This is an area that has had some discussion through a number of the budgets and committee, as the Member has highlighted. I would say that that is definitely a possibility of another government having a look and changing the status from where we have come from and looking at this. The Stabilization Fund, one, and that is why the different pieces of it, the board training is... Clearly there is a distinction here between someone volunteering to coach a minor hockey league versus someone who signs a contract to deliver services A, B and C. If an organization and that board go beyond the services of A, B and C and then cause that instability, that is a different question that needs to be addressed and that is where we get involved with the appropriate departments to say, okay, how are you going to coordinate that so there is a recovery plan put in place. Recovery plan would have to take into consideration the willingness of the contract in place and those holding the contract. I think that is where the board plays an important role as we go forward on that. The overall fund, the definition can be expanded if that is the wish of the next government knowing that this is our final budget. Thank you.
