Thank you, Madam Chair. We've identified funds for 2007-08. We've gotten the issue of respite care off the pilot list funded as a program. We are going to do it in Yellowknife again this year on an ongoing basis, and then we are going to advance it to other communities. As well, we are continuing to work in advancing home care and home support in the communities. We've made some investments in training of home support workers at the college and by 2008-09, it will be up to $600,000 for respite care. So we see this as a clear need that goes beyond medical respite, the whole area of social respite that the Member is talking about. Thank you.
