Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, when I was in Taloyoak in January of 1997, I had the opportunity to visit a couple. The woman of the house had a stroke some years ago and is confined to a wheelchair. Her husband is able to get around, but he has a heart condition, thereby depending upon his pacemaker. I was sadden to learn there was no service provided to the couple. When I talked to them, the lady indicated to me it would be nice if, for once or twice a week, somebody would come to the house and do some cleaning for the couple. I think there is justification in this case. I will provide the name of the couple at a later time outside this quorum, but my question for the Minister, Mr. Chairman, is there any type of program that would be there to provide some type of service to help them out with cleaning the house? Is there a program under this community and program services to provide such service to people who are in dire need? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
