Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the implementation of support programs and services around palliative care do not actually require specific legislation. There are some things related to personal directives and powers of attorney that do require legislation. The powers of attorney legislation -- there has been notice given of a motion in this House to adopt that.

The work on personal directives is being talked about right now as we have a group that is doing community visits and talking to seniors about this. The Department of Health and Social Services has 27 pieces of legislation currently in existence. Most of that is in need of some form of amendment or update, and legislation is required to be drafted in a number of new areas that have been identified as well. Perhaps I could also provide the Member with our legislative schedule for the next while. It is usually planned at least five years in advance. Thank you.
