Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Trust me, Mr. Minister, that this is just a commitment from yourself and your department. One of the priorities of the government is to work with the community to develop initiatives, develop community empowerment. What I am asking for is a commitment from yourself to commit your department to work with the community to develop a proposal. There is no other place we can go to get that done. It is only your department that has the information and can assist them to do it because they have to work in conjunction, because ultimately it will be your department that would have the final say on whether or not it got the opportunity to go to Cabinet for consideration. All we are asking for is a commitment to do what government does daily, assist communities to develop a proposal for block funding for that section that I mentioned.
