Mr. Chairman, with regard to the transfer initiatives, in order for anything to be supported, I would think we would be looking at many people being consulted as to whether they support that initiative. What are we looking at with regard to this department's transfer initiative? Who are you looking at as the political body representing the community? If you are looking at the Metis Association, I would appreciate you saying that. If it is the band or the hamlet, I would appreciate you saying that. If it is the health board, I would appreciate something like that. However, I do not appreciate the fact that you are suggesting unless there is 100 per cent support nothing is happening. I do not appreciate your department using one political body against the other, of course that is a good way of stalling things forever if that is your direction or your intent. Can you tell me if your department is going to be supporting community transfer initiatives?
