Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Through community empowerment, when the communities take over the work that needs to be done at the community level they normally hire people in the community to do the actual work or they take it on as a municipality or whatever, band council or whoever, and normally before those maintenance people were reporting to a regional person that had qualifications to actually supervise and actually ensure that, that work was being done as well. Now they are reporting to the community councils that are people that run for council. They may or may not have that qualification to oversee that work, so are there any checks and balances or can they draw on DPW to supply that service of checks and balances for their communities?
