Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a question here related to the description of programs with regard to special living requirements to assist people to live in their homes. There’s been some discussion about providing home assistance for elders. I wanted to ask a question with regard to this budget, and the need to provide assistance for independent living for older adults, not elders, but challenged adults. We have quite a number in the city of Yellowknife at the moment who are living at home with their parents or other caregiver, and who will soon need to be in not an institution, but a house with some supervision, sometimes 24/7, sometimes maybe 10 or 12 hours a day, but we have very little facilities to accommodate these people. I’d like to know whether or not this budget, apart from existing programs and facilities, includes any funding to expand the independent assisted living services that we have for challenged individuals.
