Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The bottom line is if you are going to say to an agency that there is a limit to how much they can charge, you are going to have to reflect also that the government has a responsibility to contribute to the operation significantly. I have no problem with the community being involved in running it, but when you have a volunteer board then let the board run it. Let them set their own fees and fee schedule. Let them determine what is fair and adequate. In this situation, they are not being given a free hand to determine how they can raise the monies they might need to cover the cost of the operation that is, instead, being limited by the department. Don't expect autonomy on one side when it is all costs and not provide that autonomy when it is the income side.
