I look forward to the Minister’s criteria and requirements to see who gets what under this program. I sure hope once she reviews her criteria and requirements that she looks into areas that do not have other services that the other regions have, so she can balance it out in terms of that criteria. I know it might be a hard one to swallow, because I am surprised that a pilot project happened here in Yellowknife. I think the pilot project should have happened in a community that really needs this type of service. Not knowing all the detail and not knowing all the information, I hope this project expands to regions that certainly need this type of service for the elderly people or people who have disability issues in our communities. It’s a really welcome program; it’s a good program. It’s welcome for the families. I certainly hope the criteria is suited for the people that really need it.
