Mr. Chairman, at this time I would like to move that this committee recommends that the Department of Municipal and Committee Affairs take the lead role in coordinating with the Department of Education, Culture and Employment and other affected GNWT departments, the development of a concentrated and Comprehensive Community Development Training Program for delivery by September 1, 1998;
And further, that this be a certificate or diploma program of one to two years in duration aimed at adequately preparing community residents for the successful management and delivery of programs and services designated under the community empowerment initiative. Thank you.
