Thanks, Mr. Chair. Yes, I would be interested in seeing that sort of document. There is obviously no sort of urgency, now we have a number of other things. If the department could provide that, even in conjunction with the next business plan, that would be helpful. Thanks, Mr. Chair. That is all I have.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, my question is for the line on School of Community Government. For 2014-15, it shows at $3.29 million. For 2016-17, it shows $2.9 million. Can the Minister identify the cuts from last year to this year? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I am not sure as to the status of the positions at the moment, whether they are out for competition or not. I will gather that information, and I will share it with the Member personally. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Any other comments or questions on page 321, the active position summary? Seeing none, we will begin with community governance. It begins on page 323. We will defer that page until we discuss the detail on page 324, community governance, active positions. Questions on page 324? Seeing none, back to page 323, community governance, operations expenditure summary. Questions from committee? Ms. Green.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I think this might be the right page to ask the question, what progress is being made on the revolving funds for communities to assist residents with energy efficient measures. My understanding is there would be a legislative change required. What is the status of that? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We are just initiating our research across jurisdictions on how this may or may not be done in other jurisdictions. It will likely require an amendment to our municipal legislation to effect such a change.

Thank you, Ms. Young. I will just remind all Members and witnesses to make sure the red light is on before you begin speaking, and just let us know when you are done so that the audio techs can switch the microphones over. Ms. Green.
