Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, I hope the Minister would agree that it would make sense, in terms of us trying to defend our facilities to bring up the issue of, where possible, keeping clients close to the home communities and close to their families. We bring that up as a means of defending our position, but it isn't the only consideration. So I think that the Minister has put out this picture again, may I say, of 22 people looking after one kid and yet they add south of the lake as a little caveat onto the issue. But the Minister has put out an incorrect picture. On that subject, Mr. Speaker, wouldn't the Minister concur that it would be optimum to keep clients close to their homes, close to their families and close to their communities? Thank you.
