Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that Bill 6 be amended by adding the following after clause 58:

58.1(1). A board of directors of a corporate body may authorize the corporate body to enter into a community agreement with the Minister.

(a) delegating to the corporate body the authority and responsibility for any matter set out in this Act;

(b) specifying the community or communities in which the corporate body may act;

(c) specifying the aboriginal children for whom the corporate body may act; and

(d) establishing a Child and Family Services Committee and defining its role in the community or communities in which it may act, in addition to its powers and duties under this Act, and establishing the term of office of its members and the procedures by which the Child and Family Services Committee shall conduct its meetings and exercise its powers and perform its duties under this Act.

2) Delegation to a corporate body under subsection (1) may be made only in respect of aboriginal children represented by the aboriginal organization referred to in the definition "corporate body" in section 56.

(3) A corporate body has, subject to the terms and conditions of a community agreement, the power and shall perform the duties delegated to the corporate body by the community agreement.

Thank you.
