Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the approach is that the positions are funded equivalently. In other words, if we take the number of times an income support worker or person has to fill out the income support form or assist in filling it out, evaluate it. Everybody is paid for doing the same work. I would hope that the community would see this as an opportunity to take on a function that can be provided within their administration. If the community decides that they are not interested in delivering it, then we will have to discuss other agencies. We could go to the tent and canvass factory, perhaps, and ask if they have somebody who, on a part-time basis, could assist people to fill out the forms. If they would be prepared to do it for the same sort of contract level, or some other agency in the community, which is how we handled a lot of the pilot projects. We may have to look at flying a person into the community, or not necessarily flying, but bringing a person into the community for half a day a month. We may have to look at other options, if that is what the community wants. If it is not seen as worthwhile, we will certainly work with the community to find another alternative. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
