Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There has to be one governing body for the transfers to take place in a community. For some communities where they have a band council and a settlement or hamlet council or a Metis organization at the community level, they would have to work together in order for this to happen. Aklavik is a very good example where the band, the Metis and the hamlet have decided to work together on empowerment, and we support that, that there should be one body willing to work together so we can filter the government funds through that body. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
