Mr. Chairman, just one concern, and that is with regard to our senior citizens. In Providence we do not have a class one, or whatever it is called for elders that require care. We have two people now in Hay River that are under that category, or fit that category. I would think that not too far in the distant future, we may get more elders in that same position. They are being taken away from the communities, I want to tell the Minister that it is a concern, and I am sure it is a concern in a lot of the communities where they do have senior care facilities, and Fort Simpson has a facility right in the community to care for them. Hay River is the same way, Yellowknife is the same way, possibly Inuvik, but in those other communities, you run into a situation of elders being put out of the community. I really do not appreciate that, and I am just wondering if maybe the Minister might be able to look into it and see if we might be able to address that issue so that we do not have to have our seniors move out of the community.
