Mr. Speaker, it does not really matter what we do as a total central government agency. Communities have indicated for a long time that they want the programs and services, as much as possible, to be done at a community level. Some people have a little bit of a different idea but they want that at a community level. If there are other forums, regarding the politics of that community government, it does not take away from the fact that communities say they are the best people to take over much of the responsibilities and programs and services that relate to the people. I see the attempt to reach the aspirations of community people to be a positive approach; that it would only complement further responsibility in terms of the political make-up that the commission will be making recommendations on. Thank you.
