Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Virtually every community is different. In some of the communities, we have very little involvement now. The contracts are working quite well. Other communities, we continue to have a significant amount of involvement as much in providing support and coaching as well as in planning some of the work. It varies from community to community. We have not done an overall review of the successes or the failures associated with community empowerment. I think we consider ourselves still to be in the very early years of it and all of the communities were anticipating that we were going to maintain some level of involvement for a period of time yet.
In terms of the budgets, as you know, we have had to deal with budget cuts virtually every year since the early 90's, since 1991, so I am not surprised that communities are concerned about the level of funding they have in order to carry out the work. The department is also concerned about the level of funding it has to carry out the work in the remaining communities. This has been an issue for us, but we have, in all cases, turned over the amount of funding that we have available to carry out the work in the community to the community when we have asked them to do work. We have not withheld funding.
