Mr. Speaker, in relation to this particular instance, the primary, fundamental and initial concern is to make sure that once a decision is made about APYS, the transition to move clients into adequate facilities so they have the same kind of service level and resources they had previously is done. We've done that. I have indicated to this House, in the short term we are looking at the possibilities of some short-term repatriation of services we now have in the North. As well, we are going to look at the longer term, once again based on the individual client needs, to see what could be possible in the longer term, keeping in mind that these individuals are in support of home and living environments. They are not in institutions per se over at APYS. For the other ones we have down there, we have to review all the files on an individual basis and see what's possible to do in the North, and that will be part of the business planning process that will come before committee in this House in the next number of months. Thank you.
