Thank you. The one area in Social Services which is of concern to me is, as the different problems arise in the communities there is a need for more services and programs. One of the areas which was brought to my attention is -- it is also a capital need -- there is a need for a safe home in the Fort Simpson area. We do not have one there and whenever women need a safe place to go there are no safe homes in my constituency. Women have to be shipped to Hay River or Yellowknife from as far as Fort Liard, Nahanni Butte or Fort Simpson. There is a real need to provide that sort of service in the community. This need should have been there many years ago, but I do not know why this was not addressed earlier. Maybe it was addressed earlier, I am not too sure about the history of this, but there is a real need for this kind of facility in our constituency. Do you have any comment on that?
