Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, first of all, although there was an increase in the impact on some residents of our long-term care facilities, the move was to standardize rates within all long-term care facilities throughout the Northwest Territories. We had level I and 11 care facilities and level III and IV care facilities with different rates that were charged to the residents. In some cases, the rates actually went down instead of going up.
As far as the specific question raised by the honourable Member, the Aven Centre contribution from the department is net of any revenues that they receive. What we do is give them, based on their budget that's submitted for approval to the department, whatever they don't receive in rents; we give them the balance in a contribution to operate the facility. In effect, if the rents were to go up, then the funding amount from the department would decrease correspondingly, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
