Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this is an area that we have been working on as a government over a number of years. In fact, we just recently signed a new four-year contribution agreement with the NWT Persons with Disabilities in trying to continue our working relationship with them in the area of disabilities. A steering committee was also formed comprising of a number of government departments and non-government organizations to look at the work done in this area. There is the specific area of the Respite Program, there is a program here in Yellowknife that we are looking to see if we can unroll in communities as well. There has been work done on the NWT action plan for persons with disabilities. It's looking at developing more living options that would be available, and training as well. Consistent homecare is one of the areas as well. So we've been trying to work along with this with the steering committee to improve our services to persons with disabilities. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
