Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. Mr. Speaker, when it comes to issues of shelter, there are many concerns which face our communities. Emergency shelter is typically something temporary provided in unusual circumstances such as family violence. There's an issue of hard-to-house people who may have difficulty managing their finances or are undesirable tenants for some reason. There's the homeless. They are people who generally can't afford or find accommodation. But today, Mr. Speaker, I want to ask the Minister responsible about the issue of transients. We have had the situation in Hay River of transients showing up in the community and there is no protocol at this time to meet their needs for shelter and food. Mr. Speaker, my question to the Minister is, is he aware of any protocol that has been developed by this government with respect to transients? Thank you.
