Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, in addition to the community councillor orientation that is available through the regional office, the regional staff also regularly visit the communities and also review financial reports and the minutes of council meetings that are submitted. Those come in regularly to the regional offices for review, which is another monitoring that takes place at the regional level and certainly the by-laws as they are submitted, again, are reviewed. There are a number of checks and balances in place in the regional offices to monitor council activity. With respect to anticipating any kind of forced growth requirements, as the Member has referred to, population increases for example, which are currently captured in the formula that is under review in the municipal financing review, it is currently taken into account and is being reviewed through the finance and review that the Minister referred to. Thank you.
