Thank you, Madam Chair. Although it doesn't say it in here and I know we get federal dollars, homecare dollars to enhance homecare, and I thank the Minister for her department that they're looking into this because I really feel, like Jackie said it before, we need to keep our elders, especially in our small communities. I see them coming to my community, and they go right into the long-term care. They don't need to. I think there's a study that shows that, to be in long-term care, you don't need to be there, it should be like the last year to year-and-a-half of your life. Some of our elders are in there 10 years. That's their residence because they need some after-hours care, and they just can't get it in the smaller communities. I look forward to that in this government, to seeing how that evolves. Thank you, Madam Chair.
