On a point of clarification on what Mr. Lake was saying earlier, the lists in the past were based on the advice of HRSDC. I know, as a parliamentarian, when I received the list I basically went back to HRSDC and said we would follow whatever the recommendations were. As MPs, we were in no way engaged in determining who would be eligible and who wouldn't be eligible for funding.
