(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good afternoon. An elder requires a proper living environment in order to maintain their dignity. Most importantly, an elder's home would provide the extended care not readily available in a family setting if the elder were living by themselves. (Translation ends)

Mr. Speaker, the community of Broughton Island needs an elders' home. Family homes are often overcrowded; single homes do not offer the support an elder would require, and in an emergency, it is difficult for the elder to get help. An elders' home would give the respect and support services an elder deserves and should expect. Our elders took care of us when we were young, and now we have an opportunity to take care of them. In conclusion, Mr. Speaker, I recommend the government seriously consider building and operating an elders' home in Broughton Island. Thank you.
