Thank you, Mr. Chair. In terms of the standards, as the Member alluded to, there is a number of pieces of legislation that help define how the shelter should operate that we think covers most of the issues that have been raised in the past. That said, though, there is certainly also opportunity in contribution agreements for specific program delivery to lay out specific approaches to operating that may address some of the other concerns. It becomes a bit of question as to whether standards and regulations of those sorts of things are the best way to tackle those issues, or whether it is better to look at the individual contribution agreements and through the various departments that provide funding to make sure that the issues that the Members identified have been addressed. Certainly, there’s more work that could be done on that, but there are different ways to, I think, achieve the objective that I think the Member is really after here. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
