Thank you, Madam Chair. We have, in the past, had contracts for delivery of the program in communities. The communities that took on those contracts, though, have, for the most part, given up because they haven't been satisfied with the level of funding. What we've done is we've said here's how much it costs us to deliver the service in this community, so that's all we're prepared to pay, and it's based on the caseload. So, you know, if you have a low caseload which, as the Member has already pointed out, is really good news for the region, it makes it difficult to justify the expenditure of putting a person into the community, and it also makes it difficult, then, for us to have a community organization take on the contract because the amount of money that would be available for administering is not very big either.
Even in those cases where we don't have somebody in the community, we do try and have workers visit the communities on a regular basis. Thank you, Madam Chair.
