When I was answering Ms. Dhalla's question, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. There is a difference between how a department communicates with a member of Parliament one to one--and there are certain provisions within the Privacy Act to allow that--as opposed to releasing a list publicly. That's what I was trying to differentiate between. So the reason why that information may have been shared with you in the past, one to one, is because of the provisions that allow for that. If we're going to release a list of organizations that were not receiving funding last year, we'd have to go through the list, which is over 10,000 organizations, and apply a different set of criteria under the Privacy Act. That's what I was trying to explain, if that's helpful.
