Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we agree that our folks in the communities need to understand their roles as well and the responsibilities they have to ensure that they have the proper capacity to deal with the lot of money that they are having to deal with because they do have a lot of responsibility with us giving them all their CPI money and with their O and M. So our role, we see, is to assist these community governments. Through the accountability framework, we believe that, as I said earlier on in the session, that gives us the opportunity to identify any red flags and pick out any issues before they become big issues and they affect the communities' ability to govern themselves. So no, we totally agree with the Member that with the proper training and that building up the capacity of communities can only benefit the communities and the department as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
