With respect to support for recent immigrants, our programs are through the training benefits, opportunities to acquire the skills or to get their foreign credentials recognized so that they can integrate into the labour market. That has been our focus.

I'll do some checking to see if there is support for the NGOs. I'm not aware of any of our programs that support non-governmental organizations directly, but I'll look into it and see if we have any detail.
