Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Dent has pointed out that there were a number of concerns in this particular area. The other area which is of concern to people in Baker Lake and Arviat is about the caring of elders who remain in their homes. In the fall before the elders' centre opened in Arviat, there was an elder who was not able to care for himself. He died in a fire because there was no one in the house with him. The relatives who were taking care of him had gone out on an errand and then a fire started. It is essential to have these types of services available to people who are unable to do anything within their households. I will give this my support. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
