Human Resources committee I know the United Way across the country is quite involved in neighbourhood renewal; in Saint John, a little less so. But we certainly have a lot of partners who are. For example, in Saint John, the Department of Social Development for the provincial government stepped into the largest housing project in the province.

Human Resources committee Perfect. Thank you for humouring us. Saint John always likes to be just a little bit difficult. That's how you know we're in the room. I'm with Vibrant Communities, as Monica mentioned. Vibrant Communities is part of a national network. The McConnell Family Foundation decided a while back that if we kept waiting for government to fix poverty, then we were in for a long wait, so we decided to try something different.

Human Resources committee Thank you. I'm actually going to ask permission to have Monica Chaperlin go first. We have a sort of tag team presentation.
