Mr. Chairman, where there is a deceased person and there needs to be some action taken to decide what to do with the properties, and assets of the deceased person, usually the R.C.M.P. or a government official from the community contacts the public trustee. Where there is no one designated, the public trustee acts in the capacity that his office holds. There is no written procedure for getting that into force. That is generally the procedure that is used, as far as I know.
