We keep the funding stable in terms of operational funding. This is operational funds that go towards the maintenance costs of the shelters themselves. As I indicated, there has been $500,000 allocated on a yearly basis to address any cost of living increases to those shelters. In addition, one of the things that the department is exploring is visits to those shelters to see what more can be done with respect to supporting the operational needs of the shelters and to ensure that any gaps are addressed.
