Thank you, Madam Chair. Just looking at the contributions and seniors aging in place retrofits and repairs 800,000. I know that with the number of -- of repairs that were -- or allocations that went into Hay River, it's severely underfunded, that program. And, you know, we talk about keeping seniors in their homes as long as we can. You know, and part of it is that we will provide, you know, funding for retrofits and repairs. We'll also provide home care and those type of things. And we just don't -- you know, we're just not putting enough money into it. And looking at it here, you know, it hasn't changed. So that tells me that, you know, either -- either there's just no chance at getting any money or it's something that's really not taken seriously by the department. And I'd just like to ask them if there's any -- you know, if there's something we can do to -- to increase that number, because I know that, again in Hay River and in probably -- and in probably in every other community, there's a demand for that -- for that program. So I'd like to see what we can do to -- to increase that number. Thank you.
