Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The honourable Member is correct about the fact that we need to develop the regulations. This is, generally, the framework. What we have consented to do, Mr. Chairman, is to consult with the communities and divisional educational councils on the matter, before we actually implement the process, because they have to be satisfied --at least the communities --that the process is reflective of their concerns and that they know how to participate in it. There's no need for us to lay out the parameters for this prosecution without the communities knowing what should happen. It's our intent to allow it to be permissive. The legislation will come into effect on July 1, 1996 and we will work to resolve these issues. They will also come back to Members of the Assembly, I believe, once those discussions take place.
