Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the issue of the dementia facility is one that the department has been involved with. Initially, as Members are aware, the YACCS group had approached the department and Members for support at looking at a dementia facility. The department came up with some funding for planning and that planning has progressed with the group. Just recently, as I took over as Minister of Health and Social Service, I sat down with the YACCS organization and department representatives to go over where the plan was and a need to coordinate between the department and YACCS, and we have done so. The working relationship has been very cooperative in that area. An RFP was just recently put out to look at the costing of that facility. Once we have that costing, we will then be able to sit down and see how, as a department, we can put it into our infrastructure plan. Thank you.
