Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as the honourable Member mentioned about his grandfather, many people have a lot of initiative, a lot of heart and are very self-reliant. Our hope is to try to foster those attitudes and those ethics in people. We currently spend a considerable amount of money. Also, as I indicated in some of my earlier answers to the Member for Hay River South, we have engaged with community governments to look at tangible practical things that can be done in terms of barrier-free access in terms of our work in here in Yellowknife and in other communities with placards for the disabled. If the community identifies and the people in the communities identify areas, there are tangible things that can be done today. What this framework and action plan will do is supplement a lot of that work, and hopefully provide a better focus once it has been through the proper steps. But in the meantime, there are things we can do today. Thank you.
