Mr. Speaker, certainly one area that we are trying to do is consultation. Everybody wants to be talked to before we do anything. Everyone wants to be consulted. I suppose that if we had taken a different task and made it more arbitrary, we could probably have a quicker response. However, it appears to me whether it is this Legislative Assembly or a regional council, they want to be consulted, they want to know what the process is going to be and they want to be involved with the development of that process. In order to accommodate that, it took us six months to develop an adequate community transfer paper that met the expectations of the people who wanted to be consulted.
In the meantime, I want to assure the honourable Member that discussions took place at the community level, because there were requests and people knew in some areas what they wanted to do. It took that long to get the overall framework paper. Thank you.
