Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We have split the actual transfer of program delivery into a couple of phases. We're initially going to be taking over the program management and accountability at the headquarters and regional levels effective April 1st. However, at the community level we will maintain the current delivery systems and individuals who are there in order that we have no reduction in client service for this coming year.

What we will be doing concurrently is running, I believe, 10 or 11 pilot projects in communities where we look at different delivery agents actually providing social assistance as income support, freeing up the social workers in those particular communities to address individual and family social counselling and other needs. So we're trying to look at a number of different models in 11 or 12 communities in terms of how we deliver social services better. And in those communities where we don't have these models, the social workers will continue to deliver social assistance but, in this case, be supported by the department staff at the regional and headquarters levels. Thank you.
