In terms of the regional director, I would like to make one comment. I would expect that when we set the process in gear, and when the process is set up, the regional director will have to be on the team as well. Otherwise, if there are a number of community transfers in any given region, I would expect the regional director to be supportive of that because the communities are indicating that they want to move ahead with these community transfers. How this will work out, I do not know. In addition to that, if they are reporting through the structure of a committee to make sure the community transfers happen -- because this is what happened before. We did not have a process where you can accommodate the community transfers. As a result, there were many different directions, and the people who wanted to move for more takeover felt that what the region was saying was something different from the priorities set by this government.
