Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to just broaden out the discussion and I thank the deputy minister for his commitment which I would be happy to take him up on some bright and early morning. I just want to broaden out this discussion in terms of partnerships. We spend a lot of time talking about the problems boards are having and that they may have bitten off more than they can chew and that they may be not quite ready to do a lot of the things that have been expected of them. I think that is probably a fair comment. However, my concern when we look at the department, is the department ready and have they been ready to provide the monitoring and support functions, evaluation and feedback that are necessary to get the boards up and running? I had made a Member's statement to this effect that the boards have a
responsibility and accountability but the department has one as well. I am not convinced at this point that we have all the pieces in place and all the mechanisms in place to provide the appropriate level of service, support and monitoring evaluation that the department should be obligated, as a key equal partner in this whole process, of giving community empowerment to the boards and to the regions. I was wondering if the Minister could speak to that? I know efforts have been made, but I think the problems we saw in Keewatin, the ones that the deputy just referred to are there in Fort Smith. If you looked in Baffin, if you looked in wherever, are those other problems of a similar nature? Are we taking the right steps and the necessary steps to make sure this department is capable and has the labour force that is qualified and capable to provide that support? At some point we can get away from crisis intervention and response and into some sort of ongoing stability and a cooperative relationship. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
