Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to speak today on the community transfer initiatives and the implementation plan that was tabled by the Minister of Intergovernmental and Aboriginal Affairs in November of 1992. I must say I was relieved, as I am sure other Members were, to see that the Minister had finally taken some action on the initiative nearly one year after his announcement in the House that community self-government was to be a major priority of Cabinet. The delay faced by the committees waiting for the government to come up with the plan was inexcusable. Internal bureaucratic conflict must no longer be allowed to compromise the people which the government is supposed to serve.
