Mr. Speaker, we would like the communities to tell us what they want to do, but we are not going to sit idly by and watch a community do something that we do not think is in their best interest. Yes, we will take their direction, but we will not take their direction at all costs. There has to be a workability and some economics as to what the community wants to do. I want to impress upon Members of the House that we are not particularly interested in going to a community and saying, "This is what we think you should do." We might make that suggestion to them, but if they choose not to go with us in that venture, or whatever it is, then we just will not do it, Mr. Speaker. We are not going to force anyone into anything. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
