Well, Mr. Chairman, I know that the existing facility isn't that bad, but my whole point is that the recommendation strongly suggests that because the group homes affect more aboriginal people than non-aboriginal, that the government consider having the operation run by aboriginal people. I just want to make that point. Not only that, I want to go beyond that and suggest to the Department of Health and Social Services, Mr. Chairman, that we look for alternatives to what exists now in other major centres. Most are in major centres and I think, because they are aboriginal children, we should start looking more at smaller, traditional communities too. Thank you.
