There is a variety of different day programs that are provided. There are those day programs that are provided by different organizations to provide socialization and those types of things. There are also day programs that actually provide some sort of respite to family or other caregivers, where family members can come out of the home.
We have provided a number of them. We can do it in Yellowknife. I don't think there's any reason why we can't. We had pursued a model where we were seeking somebody to provide some of that higher-acuity respite day program-type services. We have been unsuccessful.
Mr. Speaker, I did meet with the Yellowknife MLAs on September 13 to explore options that are available to us, based on what we learned from these experiences. Based on that meeting, the department is actually going to move forward, and we are convening a meeting of other community stakeholders to explore other creative solutions for the delivery of a day program here in Yellowknife.
We believe that there is an appetite. We just have to find the model here in Yellowknife that works for those residents who need those services. I applaud and thank the Members for meeting with me and sharing their insight at providing some direction on how to move forward.
