Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this government has met the needs of individuals, whether it is short-term residential treatment requirements, or whether it is more complicated, requiring longer term care needs. We have been sending individuals down south. If there were enough to sustain a program in the north, cost effectively, then I think we would have moved that way. As it stands now, we feel the numbers are not substantial enough to establish those longer term types of programs in the north. Mr. Chairman, thank you.
