Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There was never any funding made available to set up the plan of care committees; the department has been using internal resources. Part of the work that the staff under social services programming has undertaken is to meet with the communities where they ask, although I have asked them to be proactive and they have done that. They have had a number of workshops in communities. So I think that it would be worthwhile to see if we could work on some budgeting item to see how we could support the communities to set up these committees. Thank you.
