Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just for clarification for the House, I know that the Nunavut government did pull their clients, and that these clients are being relocated to an institution which this government had previously pulled all the clients out of before they all went to APYS. I just want to make a note on this Office of the Public Guardian's professional's comments in one of the final summaries of his report where it says information represented by professionals involved with the agency and individuals represented by the Office of the Public Guardian do not support a conclusion that these clients were at imminent risk. In fact, they clearly identify that these individuals have made substantial progress since moving to these programs. This does not suggest that there are not areas of practice training procedures or processes that could not be improved, it would suggest instead that there are strengths in the agency programming and practices that have benefited clients and need to be considered. I just want to ask the Minister if he did consider any of these professional opinions with regard to the well being and the improvement of the lives of our persons with developmental disabilities in Alberta, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
