Yes, thank you. I think it really depends on what the person needs. So some people need a personal support worker maybe to help them go shopping, sweep their floor, and do that kind of thing. And other people need nursing care. So they need dressings changed and medication dispensed and so on. So I think it depends on what the needs of the client are. And we have had the paid family caregiver program running for a couple of years, and it -- I think it's running again next year. And it's running in Tuktoyaktuk. So that would give you an idea of what kind of services are available in that community. So I think that at the end of the paid family caregiver program, the question will be whether this program is scaled up to other communities or whether there is a different approach that we could take to meet the needs of our aging population. We know that this is an area of high growth and demand because we have committed to enabling people to age in place, and they won't be able to do that unless we can provide them in-home support. Thank you.
