Mr. Chair, I have one other question. In the budget and in the estimates there is a sunsetting of permanent programs that have been there for a long time. I would like to note that the athletes assistance program, which is a permanent program, will be sunsetting in 2011 and the aboriginal peoples program will be sunsetting in 2010. Does this mean that the government no longer has a commitment to those programs? Will it reinstate those programs in 2011 and 2010?
