Mr. Speaker, I have gotten to know many of these families and they certainly depend on this respite care very highly. It is an important break through the system. It is not a holiday. It is a way to organize their life and give them the chance to be part of a program that allows them to do more. If anyone knows anyone who has a family in this situation, although there are certainly challenges before them and my heart goes out to how hard they work to get through these things. Mr. Speaker, my question being to the Minister now, is the fact is what is the department doing to advocate further funding or support funding in some funding mechanism for this particular issue. The reality is this is really pulling the carpet out from a lot of these families. It would be a significant setback if we don’t continue to find some way to support them. Thank you.
