Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I fully agree with the Member from Fort Smith. We have a community empowerment steering committee and we will be coming forward with a plan on community empowerment, and I will be making a statement on community empowerment in the next few days.

We fully support that the communities need to see how it's going to be done or how they will want it to be done within their community. There will have to be a plan for them to understand and be able to proceed with their plan, so there will have to be some community development workshops happening in the communities at the same time. The staff will be available to go into any meetings in the region to promote community empowerment as presenters; so, just to let the Members know that we will be available for any meetings that will happen in the future, we will be coming forward with a plan from the Community Empowerment Steering Committee that has been established which is chaired by Penny Ballantyne of MACA and other DMs from Health and Social Services, Economic Development and Tourism, and Public Works & Services are also involved. I agree with the Member: There has to be a plan in place, and we are doing that. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
