Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are about palliative care and are directed to the Minister of Health and Social Services. I am interested in the Continuing Care Strategy. As I indicated earlier, I had high hopes that this would address palliative care issues, both legislative and in the area of programs and services. Unfortunately, it seems that the department has characterized the strategy as under development, but it has been under development I think for the past few years. Mr. Speaker, I am hoping that is not a euphemism for sank without a trace.

Mr. Speaker, could the Minister indicate where the Continuing Care Strategy is at this point? Thank you.
