Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The one question I wanted to ask the Minister, and maybe register with the department officials here, is in terms of program delivery support. I know they are working very hard with our health boards in terms of having proper care in home care, home care for seniors, and persons with disabilities and community health nursing issues with our region. I would ask the Minister in terms of registering. It may not be the appropriate time, but in terms of looking at some shelters in our region and looking at the regional facility like other communities have. I know the indications from the Sahtu region was that a lot of the studies showed that people wanted to have their own people stay in their homes. If that’s the case and that’s still the case today, then I would ask that the Minister consider beefing up the training and resources for people to look after the elders in their own homes equivalent to almost with the other regions that have 24-hour facilities for the elders. Would she be able to look at that and see that’s an issue that she needs to work with our health boards in the Sahtu?
