Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the amount was determined in discussion with the Standing Committee on Social Programs. The rate of $712 was felt to be a fair rate, given that it was based on taking the average of the lowest provincial and other territorial rates within Canada. Just to make it clear that it isn't an increase for some residents. Some residents who were in level III and IV facilities actually had a decrease of their room and board charges under this new standardization rate, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
