Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That is a very good question. We know the regions want to have increased say over how programs and services are delivered and resources at the community and regional level are best utilized. We know that some function like a regional director, coordinating regional or executive function is being requested by a number of regions.

What we have asked these people to do is to put a paper together for us, for myself and then eventually for Cabinet. We have offered to share it with the Standing Committee on Governance and Economic Development, for them to have an idea what is being considered for regional organizing.

I think eventually every Member of the Legislature will want to engage in it because it is going to have some profound implications for the future of the government as we know it. We need to be clear amongst ourselves where we stand on issues of a central government, how strong you want the central government to be, what are you willing to recognize at the community and regional level and how allocation of resources should be made as well as the extent of the decision making.

We need to work at it carefully and present it in a way that meets the needs of the communities, yet does not make any commitments that will perhaps have regrettable implications for governments at the community and regional level or government at the central level. Thank you.
