(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am concerned the regional employees are not travelling into the smaller communities because of the budget cutback.
I think the communities should be assisted by M.A.C.A., as much as possible, to ensure that the hamlets, and the municipalities, are operational. The hamlets can get into a lot of problems if they are not assisted by the regional offices of M.A.C.A.
In regard to the recreational budget, I think the maintenance budget also has been cut for the recreational facilities in the communities. Yes, I am in agreement with the reasons for the reduction, and because hamlets do not have adequate funding as of now, also because they have to have water services and sewage services. I believe that when a hamlet does not have adequate operational money, the services would be cut down in the water and sewage services area.
I am aware of the fact that when they do not have adequate funding or operational money, even though they have had services four days a week for water and sewage, then when they do not have enough funding, they would have to cut the services down. I just wanted to bring this up. I do not have a question at this time. Afterward, when we start seeing the subdivisions in the book, then I will probably have a question.
