Thank you, Mr. Chair. We, at this point, between our own funding and available federal funding, invest in the neighbourhood of about $7 million for homecare. We see this as an area of continued investment that is identified across Canada as a service that has tremendous benefits that can keep people in their own homes and out of facilities that are very expensive to run. We are working to expand the support we can provide in the communities to work with the individuals, to help them stay in their own homes as long as possible to provide respite care services to adults. There is a whole range, but the homecare pieces need to be very critical. Thank you.
