Thank you, Madam Chair. And the two years -- I guess it's been in operation two years and I think you said you extended it for another year. What was the review criteria that was used, I guess, for the extension? Thank you.

Yes, thank you. We haven't considered doing that because it would mean that fewer people would qualify for the program or have fewer hours. So we set a number of clients that we would focus in each -- focus on in each community, and that's what informed the funding pot for this year and the carryover for next year.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just a couple questions on the paid caregiver. I think most of them have been answered. But a constituent there in Hay River had asked me if there was any -- if there was any appetite, I guess, from this government to increase the remuneration amount or the number of hours that they could charge for? Thank you.

Yeah, okay. No, thanks for that detail. I guess my last question is what's the status of the seniors strategy? And I'm if I didn't -- if it fits in somewhere else. Just this seems like a logical place to ask. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So currently the funding that we have using to support some of the recommendations that came out of the home and community care review, which I believe is what the Member is speaking to, is we are using both internal funding that has come through the GNWT as well as our third party funding through our federal funding that we receive through the home and community care agreement as well. So, for example, some of the areas that we have invested is we have invested in three regional home and community care nurses to provide clinical oversight to the home and community care program.
We've also, in the last year, also implemented two territorial wound care nurses to help provide support to complex wound care, particularly for those clients that have -- that need extended areas of wound care that require some specialty services.
And we are also looking to invest resources to enhance hours for home and community care beyond the existing hours that we currently have which would normally be Monday to Friday. And that is in two particular areas, in Behchoko and in Hay River.
And so those are some of the examples of where we are expanding the services from -- that extend from the home and community care review.
