Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Just a brief comment in response to Mr. Patterson's general comments on raising the expectations of the residents of the Keewatin. As the Minister responsible for Social Services, I will not initiate anything like this unless it is requested at the community level. The reason we are talking about having this nine-bed facility for Rankin Inlet combined with the health centre is because the chairperson of the health board of the Keewatin requested to have these discussions take place between Health and Social Services.
I want to make it very clear to this committee, as the Minister responsible, I will not initiate anything on my own, unless I have some support at the community level. Thank you.
