Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are hoping we can develop a policy that is rational and meets the needs of the people of the Northwest Territories. I would hate at this point, with the amount of time and effort and consultation that's gone into reviewing this policy, to announce any changes suddenly. We intend to make some rational changes to this. Let's be very clear about this; there may be some changes to the policy around how we subsidize housing for seniors. I expect that there will be, but I would rather we bring forward all of our proposals in a comprehensive, cohesive manner and make sure that we are doing things right the first time, rather than having to make some more incremental changes because we find that we made some mistake along the way. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
