Thank you, Mr. Chair. With respect to the one organization that's not part of the community futures program formally, Mr. Chair, that's been a decision of their own making. I'm certainly happy to see them come back should they wish to be part of this particular process and the funding pot and the funding stream. There's reporting requirements and obviously requires the organization to have its books in order and to be able to report on them and whether they want to follow the guidelines as provided. But certainly can't force anyone to modify their governing structure according to what we would expect to have public dollars. And then as for, you know, seeing further increases, again the 2.2 percent that was put out by the Department of Finance was, you know -- can't necessarily predict what inflation was doing but it was meant to reflect a CPI increase. And I know the Bank of Canada is hoping we'll be back down at 3 or 4 percent next year so hopefully that ongoing 2 percent increase will be a little more meaningful as time goes on. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
