Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I was just using the school as an example, I could have said a nursing station, I could have said a toilet had backed up in the washroom. It did not matter. I was just trying to use it as a point of analogy. I also live in a community. I am also a parent. I do have children. I have a wife. So I am not distanced from that. I do not live here in the Legislative Assembly, although I spend most of my time here. So just as a follow up to that, Mr. Chairman, if the Minister and the department could for the record, say that in actuality, there is no list of what is not on the table, everything is on the table or if it is just what is brought forward by the community. How do you ascertain, what the community can do, for community empowerment? For example, if the Department of Education goes into a community and the community says we want to take over the school. Will that go forward then? There is actually no pre-condition on what can be assumed under community transfers?
