Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I hear from many MLAs and many constituents when it's not a good stay; however, since Larga has moved to Leduc, there were initially -- there were concerns and complaints. Larga has accommodated many of the issues that were brought forward just because of their distance away from Edmonton, and they provided a lot of different space. People seem to enjoy staying in the hotel, in Larga. Recently, I haven't had a lot of complaints. There are -- Goba Care is working a lot out of there for, you know, providing programming while people are there for extended stays. We do, however, have, you know, concerns with our capacity here in Yellowknife but we are in the process of -- we are going back out to RFP, and we are looking at taking into consideration all of the concerns that we have. Unfortunately, right now, within Yellowknife, the issue is is that the dental travel has really increased the capacity that Keskorie can hold, but we haven't had the problem in Edmonton. But I would -- you know, and I mean, and any program that we provide to our residents and if there is a way that we can take feedback from residents through our RFP process going forward, I would look into that and commit that to making sure that that's something that we would do with our residents that are travelling. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
