Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If I understand the Minister correctly, she is saying the department doesn't have a lot of input into the development of these plans and the overall strategy as to how and in which way the communities are going to grow and how you are going to deal with this growth. I find it strange that there wouldn't be a lot of involvement, participation and advice by your department to assist these communities. It just falls into what we talked about for the last six months with community empowerment. I can only assume that MACA would be directly involved in forecasting these figures. What I see here is very unfortunate; the allocation of dollars in the Keewatin. The Keewatin only being part of Nunavut, my question, Mr. Chairman, is how does the Minister see her department getting involved in this area. Thank you.
