Thank you, Mr. Chair. You know, I hear where the Member's coming from and I understand that there's many -- the clients that we do have in residential care facilities are very complex and, you know, however, we all wish that we would be able to have all the service to support people. And, you know, my community is kind of like your community, it doesn't have all of the specialized services there. And we also don't have the staff that will help to be able to take care of a number of the needs of the people and to support the family on top of that. So right now what we do is we look at each individual -- when we review all of the people that are living in supportive living on a case by case and if there's -- you know, if things change in -- like, people that are outside of the territory, if there's circumstances that change in the territory and there's way to repatriate them back into the Northwest Territories, at least they're in the territories. But as to a lot of these clients, repatriating them into the smaller communities or the regional centres, there's just not the level of support to be able to support that resident and the family. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
