Mahsi, Madam Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Social Services. The Department of Social Services has done a lot of work and have been able to find some money to resolve the salary and benefits issue for alcohol and drug workers. For this, the workers are very grateful. But other than alcohol and drugs, there are many different programs within the department. One of these is the care for elderly residents. They are cared for in either government-owned and operated facilities or self-standing facilities, which are managed by other agencies and they receive contributions from the department. What is the department doing to ensure that the salaries and benefits of employees in the free-standing facilities are compatible with the work and responsibilities they do?
