Thank you, Mr. Chairman. One of the other things that we saw on this other tour was companies that set up a network of homes for adults. They would require assistance with their daily living, so perhaps three residents might live in one home with one attendant around the clock on a 24-hour basis, and the clients would be out and about in the community, fairly well integrated. They might do community service, those types of things. That is another thing which looked fairly doable for the Northwest Territories. So I'm wanting to know what opportunities there may be for... I realize it may be difficult to find homes in some of the smaller communities; but in some of the larger communities, is there an opportunity for people to come forward with offers to do a similar kind of work either through NGOs or through some form of a company that could be established that could provide those services here in the Northwest Territories? Would the Department of Health and Social Services be receptive to proposals from that in order to bring these people back home? Thank you.
