Home care worker jobs are not inferior jobs. They’re not part-time jobs. It’s going to be a more important profession. They get schooled to do home care work. They do anything from post-op care or working with persons with disabilities, looking after the elderly, working with the nurses and doctors and looking after their medication. Home care is huge and it’s going to be a more and more important area for taking care of our residents all across Canada.

Those will become, actually I think those are better economic opportunities for our people in small communities where our people in our communities can take those jobs and they’ll be good paying, long-term jobs for years. Whereas, I think the Member would be the first to agree that not all of the jobs in the health care field are being taken by our local labour, and the Joe Greenland Centre right now, the plan is in place. So I think that’s a really good plan. I think the Member worked hard to win the battle, so to speak, and he has done that. The Housing Corp has committed to renovate that facility. That needs to be done and we will be able to accommodate a larger number of seniors than who are there now, and a large portion of the money we’re already using on labour. We will be able to have strengthened home care service in Aklavik and that is really good news.

I don’t think we should be judging the work of senior care by how many 24/7 care we have. I think we’ve got to look at the quality of care we’re going to provide our seniors. Thank you.
