Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Mr. Moore.
Minister, we've talked a lot this morning about youth justice and potential changes to the act. We certainly are looking forward to working through that. I guess what this all encompasses is really our focus on trying to help young people in this country and assist them with a hand up.
One of the other areas you've focused on—and this isn't necessarily a budget line item in the Ministry of Justice, but I know you take it seriously and have spent lot of time with Minister Day on it—is youth crime prevention. I know in the 2007 budget there was $16 million allocated directly to communities to provide programs, to deliver services, and to assist young people, not to build bureaucracies in Ottawa, not to build administrations, but to provide the community organizations with direct funding.
It has been an impressive number of announcements and programs that have been implemented over the last year, year and a half. I wonder if you could comment a bit on the success of that investment.
