Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the Infrastructure Department, as I said in my statements earlier, is one that won't come into effect until April 1st, and the capital budget and the main estimates that we'll be debating in February and March comes into effect on April 1st. So we're going through that process. The housing in the smaller communities and the Aging in Place; Housing Corporation spends a lot of money trying to keep in their units, the elders especially, as long as possible. There's a number of programs they have. I believe it was five seniors' homes that they built in the last couple of years, and I'm not sure what their plan is going forward. I would have to have a discussion with them to see what their long-term plans are, but we fully understand the importance of keeping seniors in their home communities as long as possible. I mean we understand that, and through these five projects, I will try to take steps to address that. Through some of the investment into seniors' homes, their own homes, we've tried to help them to stay in their homes as long as possible. So it's not something that's new to government and it's not something that's lost on us, and we'll continue to make investment to try to keep our seniors in their home community for as long as possible. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
