Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as we all know, we do have a budgetary process that has to pass through this House, and it has to be approved in that process. How it gets there is determined by the department and the demands of communities.

In regards to elders' facilities, the population does fluctuate where we do have other alternative uses for facilities. I think because of the capital process, we go through departments, come forward with the capital requirements to this House, and get the capital dollars to construct them. In regard to those facilities, I believe that there was a demand for this facility, and it was passed in this House. At present, we are seeing that there is less use for those facilities because of changing circumstances. The funding that was there in the past, especially a lot of the federal funding, has lapsed, and we have to look at alternative sources of revenues.

So, Mr. Speaker, the capital is approved through this House, and we all have an opportunity to debate it in the House. Thank you.
