Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to direct a couple of questions today to the Minister of Health and Social Services. This is in regard to the field of respite care. Mr. Speaker, many families in the North do their very best for family members suffering from various degrees of disability. In the case of a severe physical or mental disability, this can be extremely demanding. The field of respite care, meaning some service or some aid that can come into the home and give the family some support and some break from those duties, is shown to be very valuable. The Department of Health and Social Services, Mr. Speaker, funded a pilot project, along with the Yellowknife Association of Community Living. This pilot project, I understand, is now expired. Some evaluation is underway. I am wondering if the Minister can apprise the House of the status of the respite care program. Thank you.
