Thank you, Madam Chair. As we go forward and look at the programs that the Housing Corporation currently has, one of the things I'm interested in doing to support the seniors aging in place is I would like to enter into a partnership with Indigenous groups in smaller communities. I find, honestly, with the red tape that we have, and the paperwork that we have, these programs are very difficult to access. One of the things I would like to see is partnerships with the Indigenous groups that are in those communities. I want to try this, and I want them to put forward a business plan. If they're looking at there are 10 ramps that need to be built in Lutselk'e, I don't want to keep on accepting applications and program delivering for one program, and it costing X amount of dollars. I would like the bands or the Indigenous groups in those communities to apply, put forward a business plan, so they can say, "We're going to take care of these 10 ramps, and this is how much it's going to cost," and we could just pay the band, and they can do the work. It's just a strategy that I'm thinking of, that we are talking about, but something to try to give funding to the communities so they can deliver the programs. I hope that answers your question. I could follow up with a list of senior programs that we do have within the Housing Corporation. I could forward that over to you.
