It comes out of the budget—this bill going further than the original proposal. Forty-six and a half million dollars is budgeted for a group that you knew would exist and budgeted zero for and yet come in here and claim compassion for, compassion that was never backed up by an actual decision in the budget—an actual decision that this government, by the way, has made. With that, I commend the bill to the House.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.
