Thank you, Madam Chairperson. The reason why I raised the concern is, the Tl'oondih Healing Society in which they have made foreign attempts where they develop proposals in regard to how they can use and develop these resources to develop workshops and what not for the community. To be able to deal with the different concerns in regard to alcoholism, mental health and develop a scenario, so people can deal with their emotions and problems in the community. Basically, out of four tries they finally got an approval for this last program which is going to be happening in the next two weeks. It is a three-week program which the community has been asking for, but out of that proposal they made four attempts to get one approval for a proposal. A lot of time and effort are put into developing these proposals at the community level and then submitting it to the board. I would like, what I am hearing from the Minister is to ensure that communities will have the ability to make decisions on different reports or workshops they would like to hold in the communities. I would like to ask the Minister, how soon can his department publicly make a statement to that affect that the communities will be able to do that?
