Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, our planning is done on demographic projections. What is the occupancy, what is the population growth, what is the age of the population? The Member is correct that our statistics tell us that we are going to be requiring beds across the Territories in the coming years. We're addressing some of those issues. There was some work done fairly recently in Fort Simpson. If there is a waiting list and if the statistics change, then those are forced-growth issues that we will be dealing with; not only in Fort Simpson, but they're occurring in other places as well. So we'll attempt to anticipate those and see it coming with forced growth where we can plan a bit ahead of time. Thank you.
