In my address, I referred to a change in the way we operate when we implement programs in the communities. I said that all the regional agencies—ACOA in Nova Scotia—are responsible for implementing initiatives in the field so that we can work closely with the communities. That may explain the change in staff. However, the money is indeed there, and the agency people are there to serve the communities.
