Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I greatly appreciate the indulgence of the Members. I will be very brief. I wanted to indicate the Minister for Municipal and Community Affairs has undertaken to spearhead a community development program. A development of a community development program would be a certificate or diploma program offered through the college system. Part of the program, the course, would be to help community workers implement community wellness programs and dealing with community well-being including issues of abuse, violence, health promotion, early childhood intervention, mental health, addictions, public health and environmental health. Mr. Chairman, the course would include different individual courses that address various areas of community wellness such as this area I have just mentioned, community development. Would the Minister or his staff be willing to sit down to discuss with MACA, their involvement in helping to develop this particular course which, of course, a little bit of revenue would certainly be helpful in addition to discussing what should go in the courses?
