The emergency food security fund was more of a direct transfer to the food banks and food security organizations for the national or regional ones to share the money across their networks. We were aiming to get as broad a distribution as possible, and national coverage, with those organizations. Those were the specifics. Really in the end that was for the local food banks to determine how they would use.... In your example, I don't know how many in your riding would have received a share, but some of them would have received money, and that would have been their decision about how to use it based on their needs and what was available to them.
The surplus food program was a bit more of a matching exercise where we were trying to find uses for food that would otherwise have gone to waste and that had been produced by the Canadian sector.
