Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think there would be a difference in a couple of areas. One, the level of service or dedicated program to people who suffer from Alzheimer's as well as other dementia issues. That's one for sure we've been working on. In fact, we continue to work with the YACCS organization and integrating a respite program for families that help deal with other family members, we're working and moving that ahead as soon as we can. In fact, this fiscal year we started doing some of that work with them. The other side of it -- and I think it's one of the things we look at here in the North -- is that when it comes to not only the level of care but the cost of providing that care in the Northwest Territories, in the Northwest Territories we, as a government, pick up the large part of that tab whereas in the South individuals and families are paying for that service themselves. So we have to come up with an appropriate balance, both on the level of programming as well as the cost of that programming in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
