Thank you, Madam Chair. We do recognize that we do have a gap in some places in our continuum of care. We have home care services, which we are trying to expand for adults who are living independently. There is some seniors independent living; there is long-term care facilities. But what the Member is talking about is really an assisted or supportive living, which is somewhere in between. It’s for seniors who don’t need to be in long-term care but need to be in a facility where there is some support. We are in the early stages of having some discussions with the Housing Corporation to see if we can work together to start looking at a program to address that gap.
