Thank you very much for coming today, Madam Tining, and to your colleagues as well. It is appreciated. This is a very satisfactory overall briefing on the department. It really is a success story, in my estimation.
I know we have a number of legions throughout our riding of Huron--Bruce, and I know the veterans independence program has been a tremendous support for those veterans, for hearing aids and the basic requirements for people as they get older, as well as for the basic fundamentals of groundskeeping and snow removal. It has been a tremendous asset and assistance to them in being able to stay in their homes. I have a relative who is 89 years old and he and his wife are still in their home in Goderich and getting by quite well.
My first question for you here is about two major funding programs your department has, the cenotaph/monument restoration program and the community engagement partnership fund. Could you provide a little more detail regarding those programs?
