Thank you, Madam Chair. My questions are in the area of who is taking the leading role in the community empowerment issue and my concern lies with what I spoke about earlier. No doubt the department is advising communities saying, "okay, we have community empowerment and we are going to transfer this, we are going to transfer that." How much involvement do the communities and the people of the communities have in designing the community empowerment initiative? Did they have a hand in analyzing this policy? Some input and opportunity at some

point to say, "yes, we like this and we really think you should approach it in this fashion?" Has any of that taken place?
