Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to say there will be no cuts to AIDS funding at this time. The government's commitment to fighting HIV remains undiminished, as you can see with the figures in the budget. Half of these funds will go toward prevention, care and treatment and the other half will go toward research funding.
At this time I would like to acknowledge the tremendous amount of work that the hon. member has done on this both here in Ottawa and in his riding.
