Yes, thank you. That's not our intention. The intention is that we are going to use an international needs assessment tool to assess people for the long-term care bed needs, and there will be a threshold of nursing and support services required before people are offered beds in long-term care. I am aware that in some cases now, people with special needs are in long-term care, and think that's a default because there hasn't been accommodation for them elsewhere. But you might know that we're doing a supported living review at this point, where we're trying to develop an in-territory model for support for people who are currently living in facilities outside of the NWT. So we are interested in finding a solution to that, but we're pursuing it separately from the long-term care beds.
