Thank you, Madam Chair. Turning the question around, could I ask the Minister whether this is on his list of asks, as the popular saying goes, to his federal counterpart as something we need to look into in the North as we also face an aging population and we are working to keep people out of the medical centres as much as possible? There will be more and more need to take care of seniors and others who either through palliative care, home care or respite care whose interest it will be for the government to keep them out of the medical centres as much as possible with a little bit of help for the family. Could I ask the Minister whether this is on his agenda to push the federal government for a national program and national funding to help us out? Thank you.
