Senator Thorpe, I have answered your questions by saying that we're not in a position to describe what will be included in this year's budget, whether it be in this space or any other space. We understand there are some very real issues in this area, and that is why we are undertaking this action. In the first cycle of the Justice Reinvestment Program, nine initiatives have been selected for funding, and applications remain open year-round. We are clearly committed to this by having already put in place $79 million to support those community-led justice reinvestment initiatives.
