Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the idea of multiyear funding comes up year over year in budget dialogues as well so I certainly want to acknowledge that the NGO sector/nonprofit sector have also been good advocates for themselves. That is part of the reason the Department of Finance has been analyzing those third party agreements.

I appreciate the Member's point. There are already multiyear agreements out there. For example, I know I've signed ones with the Status of Women and Native Women's Association. They're always contingent of course on the funding being approved here but it does provide some certainty when there's a sense that upon approval here that the funding will indeed continue to flow. So as I've said, again I can and will take back the idea of making that process better known and making perhaps a bit more corporate approach from the Department of Finance to my colleagues so that we are all able to make use of that tool. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
