Mr. Speaker, the city has already made a significant amount of progress on putting together the RIDE program. One of the challenges we face is, unfortunately, finding a location for the sobering centre, itself. We've also made a commitment to relocating the day shelter, which is also proving difficult. We have our staff currently out looking for appropriate locations in the community. If we're able to get a location, and we're hoping to find one soon, we need a bit of time to do some retrofitting to make it suitable and we need a bit of time to do some staffing in order to get appropriate staff that can actually manage things. I don't have a deadline because, bottom line, it really depends on whether or not we're able to find a location. That is our challenge right now. When we find a location, we intend to move quickly. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
