Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we are at a bit of a disadvantage here today because we have not received the Auditor General's report on the Department of MACA and that report might have indicated some areas of concern or proactive work that the department could do under community monitoring and evaluation. I do understand that when the early warning system was put into place, the whole idea was to be a preventative approach. I do not think that anyone is picking on communities. When we say we are talking to the SAO, for example, if there are problems within the financial administration of the community, it seems again, the department only finds out after an audit. I guess the question is, what is the preventative approach that you are doing? Does the regional staff go into the communities every three months to check cash flow balances? Are there things like that being done?
Once the community gets into a deficit situation, and no one wants to be in a deficit situation, then the department puts together a plan to help them get out of that. Last year we had 12 communities, the deputy minister said, who had problems in their audit, this year we had 13 communities. What happens when it becomes continuous from month to month or year to year? Maybe the department should be more proactive, indeed, going into the communities to help them on that basis or if they have an indication from an audit that certain communities have had financial problems in the past, would they be monitoring them more closely? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
