Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that Bill 6 be amended by deleting clause 57 and by substituting the following:

57(1) A community counsel may, by-law, authorize the community corporation to enter into a community agreement with the Minister (a) delegating to the community corporation the authority and responsibility for any matter set out in this Act;

(b) establishing a Child and Family Services Committee and defining its role in the community in addition to its powers and duties under this Act and establishing the term of office of its members and the procedure by which the Child and Family Services Committee shall conduct its meetings and exercise its powers and perform its duties under this Act; and

(c) setting out the procedure for establishing and amending community standards and making the members of the community aware of community standards.

(2) A community corporation has, subject to terms and conditions of a community agreement, the power and shall perform the duties delegated to the community corporation by the community agreement and, for grater certainty, the exercise of the powers and performance of the duties in accordance with the community agreement is deemed, for the purposes of the Charter Communities Act; the Cities, Towns and Villages Act; the Hamlets Act and the Settlements Act, to be a municipal purpose.

Thank you.
