Mr. Chairman, yes, as I mentioned earlier, we do still have a level of technical expertise that we are prepared to share with the communities. In some cases, we draw that from those individuals working in other communities, but we do have some capacity to provide some technical support and guidance in planning and carrying out that work. We always anticipated that we would continue to provide that function, at least for a period of time, while communities became more skilled in the delivery of their own programs. In terms of the long term, again every community is different, so it is hard to generalize on empowerment issues. Each community has its own stage of development and its own strengths and weaknesses. We fill in and try and support to the limit of our resources, as required.
