I congratulate Mr. Deering and look forward to his service in this important role. I begin by acknowledging his predecessor, Mr. Tyndall. I also sit on the Joint Committee on Disability Matters and we recently had a strong engagement with Mr. Tyndall in respect of his report on those aged under 65 being placed in nursing homes and the very incremental movement on that. I would like Mr. Deering to elaborate on that. He expressed an interest in following up on the recommendations that have been made, and I would love to know what form that would take. I will let him address that and then look forward to new areas.
