Just further to that, I am in favour of making sure that friendship centres are funded properly, Madam Chair. It is really important because I know federal funding is not enough and friendship centres do a great job within the communities. They do a wide variety of programs that benefit a community. Some of them do soup kitchens, some of them do lunches for impoverished children, and there are so many other functions that they take care of that a lot of other organizations don't. I just want to make sure that the funding is disbursed evenly. The $170,000, I don't think it's enough, but anyways, that's another thing that we should have a look and reconsider in the future, that we upgrade that a bit. I know there's never ever enough when it comes to looking after friendship centres. I just want to make that point. Thank you, Madam Chair.
