Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The questions, again, are for the Minister of health. I want to talk about: when we talk about extended care, we have a couple of people in there who are probably younger than 50 or younger than 60. In Hay River, we do have an independent or an assisted-living facility there, but the problem is that, to get in there, you have to wait two or three or four years. Has the department, in looking at the needs on the extended-care side, considered the shortcomings on the assisted-living side? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
