Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
I have a question for the minister.
In April 2012, the federal government announced that it would resume the management of settlement programs funded by the federal government in British Columbia and Manitoba so that these programs were aligned with those of other provinces, except for Quebec. These supplementary estimates show that reallocation of money from operating expenses to fund a grant of approximately $4.5 million for direct management or settlement support services in British Columbia and Manitoba.
However, I met with a number of service providers and also with the local university English-language program administrators. They're worried about not knowing what their funding will be in the coming year. Can you tell us when that's going to be done?
