Madam Chair. The respite fund in the budget of $225,000, it's to provide community-based respite services to caregivers of residents with disabilities in the Northwest Territories. The Member is asking if we do see an increase. One of the things that the department is doing and looking at is the long-term care review and some of the recommendations as a result of that. That is something that we are looking at. The respite fund is very important. A lot of people in the Territories rely on that because they do need that respite care. That is something that, once we start looking at the review and looking into recommendations, it is quite possible that that would increase. Thank you.
