Thank you, Mr. Speaker. When we do transfers with the communities, we discuss with the community all the concerns that are raised by the community. This is one of the issues that is discussed with the community. We only do transfers if the community is comfortable with the talks and also with the transfer of anything that goes under their authority. I will be getting back to the Member and to this House about the liability issue. I know the department has concerns about that, but the transfers have been done with the communities. This issue has not really come up yet. We are looking into it on their behalf. With all our transfers, we talk with the communities and we are very open with them. This is one issue that has not really been brought up to surface yet. Thank you,

Mr. Speaker.
