Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, in regards to the issue of the ramps and the outside access, my understanding is that the Housing Corporation has programs available to assist homeowners and individuals requiring that service to get that service. In regards to support within the home, if it's bars or steps or other such equipment, then the home care workers, home support workers, and the social workers, possibly the nurses if they're doing any kind of visits, would identify those kind of needs and we would work with those individuals to try to make sure that they have those services. As well, I'd like to point out that we are also going to be enhancing our contribution, both to the seniors and the disabled, by $100,000 each this year for the next five years as part of the territorial health access fund and we're going to be meeting to try to make sure that money's allocated in a way that other communities or that all communities can have a chance to access some of that on a required basis. Thank you.
