Thank you. I think it certainly makes sense for the department to look into some sort of situation, and not necessarily in isolation, but whether we look at hospice type arrangements or things like this that would allow somebody to spend their last few months with their family.
Certainly, there is not the room for the family at the Stanton Hospital, I do not imagine. I think that we can see that there is such a huge comparison or discrepancy in what it costs to take care of somebody at the hospital compared to a long-term facility.
I hope the department will look at this, because I think it is important for someone to spend their last months with their loved ones, preferably in their home community. If there was a situation where they needed to be in Yellowknife and there was some place for their family to stay with them as well, I think that is important. We are dealing not only with what is best for the person that is dying, but also it is a very difficult time for the family. I think this is something the department should certainly look into. I would like to see us getting our own legislation, given that we are one of the few jurisdictions without it. I hope the Minister will pursue this. Thank you.
