Thank you. There's a lot of ways you could look at this. First of all, a lot of our people that are in the hospital don't have a lot of money and so -- and then they're waiting -- presumably they're waiting for a long-term care bed or -- like I said, it's not their fault that there's no bed available for them so they're still in the hospital. And then I heard the Minister reference things like this happened in the -- this is how they do things in the south. Well, we're not in the south. We're in the North. Cost of living is really high in our communities. And a lot of -- you look at that payment for an individual, especially if it's for an elder or somebody that has an injury, that there's no foreseeable future, it looks like they're not going to recover, so they're going to be in this place possibly the rest of their life. And so to pay $34 a day for the rest of their life is like -- we're in the North here. We do things differently. It seems like some of the things that we're adopting is -- is from the south. It makes sense -- maybe it makes sense there but in the North here we do things differently. So for a long time we've been taking care of -- we've been helping and taking care of the people, and that's the way it was for us. That's how we do things in the North. That's how we do things in our communities.
I understand there is a need for us to kind of supplement or help pay for some things. Yes, we need to do that. It's just that this $34 a day adds up every day for a family or a person that doesn't make a lot of money. So I guess I will be bringing this up in the House. Thank you.
