One of the issues, just in response to the Minister’s response earlier in regard to the questions raised by the Members, is the whole area of the seniors repair programs. I think a lot of challenges we’re seeing in our communities is we wait for a lot of these contracts to be let and you’re only talking $1,000 or $2,000 of any emergency repairs that have to be done. I think if we could work out arrangements with the local maintenance staff through the local LHOs and give them the money and ask that they include those seniors in those communities as part of their ongoing maintenance anyway...

Clarification. Mrs. Groenewegen, I believe that when we moved into Committee of the Whole, the direction was we were going to deal with the Department of Education, Culture and Employment. Clarification; is that the direction? What’s the wish of the committee? Mrs. Groenewegen.
