Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Good afternoon. The key issue that we are striving for here is to make sure the board trustees are closely linked to the communities they represent so when there is discussion around key decisions that are being made at a board table, there be an opportunity for board trustees to take a lot of the information and discussion back to communities. The Minister has taken several steps to ensure in fact now communities and political organizations signal their wish in terms of the trustees they want to have on the boards of management. I think the latter part of it is as much some growing awareness on the boards' part that if they need to make key shifts in policy they have to work as hard as people elected or working at a territorial level to make sure they effectively work with and discuss with residents of communities, the implications and effects of changes that are being proposed.
