Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just prior to my colleague, Mr. Dent, proceeding with recommendations, there was one item where we were dealing with recommendations that we are not proposing as a motion here today, but I would ask the government to consider the suggestion of ensuring that in the consultative process, where we were dealing with the matter of assessing the health and social services programs, that those were involved in the delivery part of that consultation process. All too often, we do not involve them in the consultation and sometimes we forget that they are an integral part of determining whether or not a particular program is successful and whether or not in the communities they are being treated in a fair and reasonable manner. That could be the basis for some of the misunderstanding that occurs in the delivery of programs and services to the communities. So I would hope that we would ensure that it is an ongoing process that we would ask and ensure that those who are delivering the services are, in fact, consulted on an ongoing basis. It is not a recommendation but it is a suggestion to our government.
