Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'll have to be very careful in responding to this issue. As the Member is aware, there is still a process in place and all those negotiations have halted. There are some discussions still going back and forth. Our first priority, as a Department of Health and Social Services, was to ensure that the youth in that facility were taken care of in other facilities and we've done so and we'll continue to monitor that. On the other side of the equation, we've done our part through the Fort Smith Health and Social Services Authority in contacting the contractor to see how things are going and to encourage a settlement in this area. I, as well, have spoken to union officials and encouraged that we would come up with a successful conclusion and I believe we're, in fact, quite close to a conclusion, hopefully, that they can reach soon. Thank you.
