Mr. Chairman, in the issue of the elders' residence and the requirement for extraordinary needs and the fact that the federal government continues not to respond to the request of restoration of funds as we've had in the past, the department, with the Housing Corporation, feels compelled to try to address the problem with the resources that we do have. But that is not to say that the communications with the federal government and federal agency are not ongoing. However, there are some needs that have to be met and we're going to try to do that with bringing together a strategy on some of those immediate needs, as well as a longer-term strategy on housing for elders.
