Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as Members we have to raise issues that come to our attention. Sometimes they come to us indirectly or directly. Over the past 14 months, starting off with the test of Cape Dorset on community empowerment, we have had a chance to evaluate it. Fourteen months ago this liability issue was there and I know it has come forward. The department is working on it and I thank them for that. I think it points out that once we get into this process of transferring programs and services, income support, to communities, we still have to make sure that the communities have the needed logistic information, so they can make the decisions to take on or not take on the programs. I wonder if the Minister or the departmental officials could tell us, has there been further updates to this information being distributed to the communities?
