This is off the top of my head, but certainly if I look at a program that we run through the skills link funding, and this would be a concrete example where we're just renewing a contract, the request is to reduce the amount we spend compared to last year. So we did some initial work, and then as it goes through the process to go up to Ottawa and back--and this is a request of between $300,000 and $400,000 for an 18-month program to work with youth, building skills through community service activities and workshops--some of the things that were cut out would be something like recreation. They said, “We are not going to fund recreation and we want you to reduce it by $4,000 in your budget.”
