Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, listening to the mover of the motion and to the seconder of the motion, I believe that both the mover and the seconder have a valid point. Mr. Speaker, in the Eastern Arctic -- and I speak for the Eastern Arctic, I'm not about to make a comparison between the East and West; I believe that seniors suffer equally in the Western Arctic and the Eastern Arctic -- we have a very high rate of unemployment. We have limited job opportunities for the family members of elders. In many cases, elders are supporting the families. In many cases, elders have to give money out so that the family, the extended family can buy gas and go out hunting, where the elders are very dependent upon the country food.
Mr. Speaker, in some cases, I believe we have overcrowding in homes. In some cases, Mr. Speaker, the elders are subject to noise in their own homes. They may have many reasons to leave their homes and move to facilities such as senior citizen facilities. Therefore, I support the motion and I urge the other Members to support the motion for the sake of our elders within the jurisdiction. Thank you.
