Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the definition of that that was read into the record by the Member, there is a reference to a multi-disciplinary approach. So in smaller communities during difficult times such as the one referenced by my colleague, the families are involved, we try to involve the resources that we have be they social workers, nurses, community wellness workers, home support workers, they have backup provided from a larger centre such as Inuvik and where there are doctors available. As the Member indicated, home support workers are currently in training, which should be completed by November, so we are doing our best to provide important service during a very critical time in a person's lifecycle. Thank you.
