Sure, but part of your funding would be lost if you had fewer young people attending them. You'd agree with that?

I'm sorry, I didn't understand the translation.

Fewer clients equals less money, isn't that right?

For me personally, I don't think so, no. I would be getting the same salary, maybe more.

The goal of the youth centres is to exist as little as possible. Our hope in life is that there were be as few young people as possible in need of protection, and as few young people as possible in difficulty. However, it is a reality. Personally, if there were no young offenders, I would be very happy to do something else.

Thank you.
We're at the end of our round. Is there an appetite to keep going, or would you like to adjourn? I'm in your hands.

All right, hearing nothing else, then we'll adjourn.
I want to thank the witnesses for coming in; it's very worthwhile. Your testimony will form part of the public record, and likely your input will form part of the report that we issue.
Thank you.
We're adjourned.
