Is the Minister indicating to this House that he is waiting for the communities to go to his department to request an opportunity, or is the Minister's department making any effort to go to the larger communities to see if they want to consider this option? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is a community initiative. The community would have to come to us. Thank you.

Even though it is a community initiative, Mr. Chairman, what prevents the Minister from initiating or formulating a letter to the larger municipalities to see if they want to consider such an opportunity? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. When the policy became a policy, I sent it to each community. It is in the hands of each community. Thank you.

Since I have not seen the policy, does it indicate specifically that it has to be a community request in order to be considered for block funding? Thank you.

I will ask again, Mr. Chairman, what prevents the Minister from developing a letter to the communities to advise them such an opportunity is available? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I feel the communities know it is available. Again, I am prepared to write a letter to each community to state that it is available. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, the Minister indicated that he feels the communities know it is available. I would appreciate if the Minister would develop a letter to the municipalities or to the larger communities that may want to take on this opportunity of block funding and indicate to them that such an opportunity is available. It is incumbent upon the government, particularly this department. As the government is looking at community transfer and responsibility, they should take the initiative to advise the communities what is available and not always wait for the communities to come to the government. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The deputy minister's office has been talking to each community explaining that this is available. Again, Mr. Chairman, yes, I am prepared to write a letter to larger communities explaining this policy. Thank you.
