As you know really well, the community futures development corporations all have different strategic plans and different priorities. We're trying to work very closely with them, to enable and empower them through our annual funding, to support their undertakings and their efforts from that perspective. We see this as an opportunity. There's an opportunity as well for us as a federal family, and also by working with the provincial government, to try to do a better job in connecting the communities and the various regions with the various tools and instruments from within the Government of Canada. For example, in the last year we've been working very closely with the BDC to try to increase the relationship and the partnership with the various CFDCs and the BDC, in order to make sure there's better collaboration and partnership among the various organizations, so the communities are in a better position to leverage the various programs, the various funding opportunities, and the various tools the BDC has to offer.
