I was really hoping that someone would ask me that question. I have a research study here that we have just completed in collaboration with the 33 organizations that receive money. Canadian Heritage has always told us that it provided all of our funding. That is not true. Canadian Heritage contributes 20.7% of the organizations' funding. Of that percentage, only 12.8% is earmarked for development. The other 8% goes to administering the agreement. Sixty-four per cent of the funding the organizations receive comes from outside the federal government. The federal government's total contribution is 36% including that from Canadian Heritage. The money from Canadian Heritage is extremely important because it is used to leverage other funding. However, the funding we obtain from sources other than Canadian Heritage is eight times what it gives us as income.
If we look at contributions in kind, that is, what 95% of the organizations receive in the form of goods, services, loaned use of space, etc., they amount to $12 million a year, whereas Canadian Heritage provides New Brunswick with $2.4 million a year. With the contributions in kind and the funding altogether, there is a leverage effect of 12 times what we receive. If I take into account total contributions, Canadian Heritage provides 8.3% of the funding, with contributions in kind amounting to 59.8%.
