Far be it from me to correct my colleague, but our government did increase the funding for SADCs in recent budgets. We recognized that the SADCs were important. We had to find other means of funding, not just through CED, but also through the funding provided by CED to the SADCs that finds its way to small communities. The funding was increased.
I recognize that it is not perfect and that we can always do better. I would be happy to have some serious discussions with you and other members interested in the SADCs.
