Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman. Obviously, I take my role quite seriously in that I know there are people departments as the Member suggests and any decisions that are made on our programs impact people no matter which spectrum of category they may be whether they are low income, high income or middle income; no matter what ethnic origin they have. I think in trying to address the issue about direct liaison with the issue of how you recognize the compassion and the needs at a local level. I think in devolving the program delivery responsibilities to the regional level where you have a community representation on those regional boards, direct input from the community on how the programs are structured and delivered, and you have a point of contact in the community from the public at large directly to the board of management. That makes an impact on the programs and how receptive and flexible those programs are in recognizing the needs of the constituents that they serve. Thank you.
