Thank you. I thank the Minister for that response. Another concern we have is that permanently disabled people do not have access in the Northwest Territories to a pension that would ensure a basic level of income for them. This is common place in other jurisdictions. In Alberta, I believe it is called the AISH program, and we are concerned that the Northwest Territories does not have any sort of funding like this in place and being one of the only jurisdictions in Canada that does not, we have to ask why, Mr. Chairman.
