Mr. Chairman, the motion you are referring to has to do with this department. We could deal with the information after we finish general comments; I have no problem with that. I just wanted to get back to the question I asked earlier. I would like to thank the Minister for her reply, however, it wasn't quite what I was looking for.
There are structural changes going on in the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs at the present time and it is just the beginning of changes in the department. I'm pretty sure the changes, once done at the headquarters level, will lead to changes in the regions and the communities. I just want to know, are the changes only structural or are basic philosophical changes going on with the department.
I know the department heads all have different ways of doing things and with the new deputy minister in place, who is making these changes, I would like to know whether these changes are only structural. Are we changing organization within headquarters, and moving some people around? Those are structural changes. I would also like to know if there are philosophical changes, meaning are there changes in the way people in headquarters are looking at dealing with the communities now. If there are changes in the way you are going to work with the communities, I would like to know what kind of changes they are. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
