Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the regional departments have always been involved in the provision of training to community staff. What is different about this initiative is that we are trying to develop some of the tools that the regional staff and community people have been telling us they need.
We are also trying to provide that training in a more coordinated way. Right now, each department has its own approach to training at the community level and we're seeing a fair amount of duplication in some areas. For example, many of the departments have community structures in place: Education has education committees, Housing Corporation has housing associations, et cetera. What we're seeing is some duplication in the approaches so we're trying to identify those things that are common to all of the training that we are doing and looking at a way to do that in a more coordinated way so that we're not duplicating each other's efforts. That would be one change.
Another change would be to identify, at the regional level, where we have skills and strengths in our own staff. Again, right now, we're trying to be all things to all people in each department and we feel that by working as a team at the regional level we can make better use of the skills that are there without having to go outside to bring them in from outside the department; we can look to our colleagues internally to provide it. The difference is really in the coordination of the approach and in the development of new tools that currently don't exist but which are required to make this work. Thank you.
