Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, maybe just to give a bit of perspective on this issue; up until relatively recently, before the start of this pilot project in Yellowknife, there was only medical respite, which closed the door on a majority of people that had dependants at home that didn't need medical respite but could benefit from the program that was created here in Yellowknife on a pilot basis.

We have taken the step to move away from just the medical respite to do the social respite. I acknowledge fully in this House that we are beset by far more problems than we have resources. We have put money into this. I am aware that there is a waiting list. I am aware that this program only exists in Yellowknife right now and that we are working hard to make sure that we can come up with ways to resource this, so that we can expand the service to make it available not only as needed in Yellowknife, but to other communities as well. Thank you.
