Thank you for that answer. Yes, there is $26 million; it doesn't really tell you what it is. So it's always troubling to me when I look at this and we're supposed to be voting on a $26 million line item that says Health and Social Service Authority Funding for Community Social Programs and I really don't know what that means. So I was just trying to get some clarity. I guess I'll probably make this my final point. The family violence shelters are basically receiving money so that they can continue to operate, but there are issues with the facilities often. I'm not sure if this is a capital budget question or if this is something that you guys would do in O and M as a contribution, but if the family violence shelter just needs a new building, they have no money to store away and save up for that, how is that accounted for and how does the department deal with that? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
