I can advise you that I have, on a number of occasions, been invited by the NWT Seniors’ Society and I have met with them. We share a meal and we, sort of, have a roundtable and they tell me all the things that they want me to work on in terms of seniors’ issues. The NWT Seniors’ Society has membership. The board of directors has membership from all regions of the Territories. They did bring up the issue of a seniors secretariat and they have told us and, in fact, they have written to us to say that they understand that the resources are limited. They understand that to create an infrastructure, a junior department of seniors, would involve money, and, if they had their choice, they would like those dollars to go to seniors programming rather than a secretariat. They have communicated that to me. So that is their position on that issue. Thank you.
