Madam Chairman, in terms of the registry that we know today, with its assets and liabilities—and we've talked about some of the weaknesses and the measures that are currently in place—without doing fundamental change to that.... The Minister of Public Safety recently announced that for the current fiscal year, the program could be operated for $10 million less, bringing it down to roughly $72 million or $73 million a year. At that level of funding, I believe the program can be sustained in its current form, or as close as we can get to a steady state. Obviously if the government chose to make investments in one area or another, they would have to be funded.
