Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know that a lot of the communities are wanting to have programs and infrastructure transferred into their governing bodies, and this is what the communities have been asking for. They want more control of the programs and also infrastructure in their communities, and they want to have a say in how the program is delivered in their communities.

I agree with the Member on his comments. There has to be monitoring of the transfers going to the governing bodies so that it doesn't fall apart. Our department is fully committed to make sure that, when community transfers start in the communities, that the community is ready for it and that we're there to help them so they don't fall apart and that they don't fail. That's our commitment as a department, that the staff will work with the community to develop a community plan on what their priorities should be and what departments are available to them within their community, and what programs they should take on. There will be a lot of resources available to them from our department. We are committed to make sure that this is successful at the community level, for all the communities that would want to take on community transfers. I know that for a long time the communities have been asking for more input to the programs within their communities. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
