Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am glad to hear that, too. I get that there is a certain degree of technical expertise that is required for certain types of facilities. However, even if it's a matter of a senior who has a dilapidated home and, therefore, now they are getting moved out of it into a long-term care facility, if they don't need a large degree of care, I don't see why we can't have a lesser, sort of, care worker or lesser-educated care worker there to help them. That's great, and I look forward to learning more about the paid caregiver pilot program. It never made sense to me that we make people go out to work so that their family member can then have someone else come in that the government then pays for to look after them. Glad to hear that. My last questions are just around the active positions. I noted that we have gone up four positions, and I am reading it right today if I wasn't yesterday. It's all-in headquarters. My question would be: are these all administrative functions for the department or administrative roles that do need to be in one place, as we've said, or are some of these employees actual care and support workers for patients or long-term people? Thank you.
