I had thought that maybe that is what was meant. I know that in the past we have had lists of the number of people in the Northwest Territories that hold elected offices. We have thousands and thousands of committees all over the place. Mr. Chairman, what this is heading for, then, is one community group that looks after the whole works. I asked this question of Mr. Morin the other day when I asked, does that mean that the local housing corporations are going to go? He was absolutely clear that that is not what is intended at all. I asked it for that reason, because it seemed to me that if we are going to head in the direction of giving local communities control over all of their programs, that the local housing corporations would go; they would disappear; and they would then come directly under community government. Would the Government Leader confirm that there is no intention at all of getting rid of local housing authorities, that they would still be independent and carry on the way they are right now?
