Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The answer is no. What we are trying to do as I have said, is that we are trying to do this in a team approach consensus style of communication between all departments, between all agencies in the community. The health boards will always be health boards if they want to be that way and education boards will be that way too. We are just trying to communicate with them at the same level, bring them to the same table and discuss issues with them, so we can find out the priorities of the communities and for the people that we care about in those communities. These different agencies have to start coming together and discussing the priorities of the community that they belong to. The education and health boards are agencies that we should be communicating with and working with. That is my approach with community empowerment. We are not trying to make them into a subcommittee. We are trying to work with them in this consensus style of community empowerment priority. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
