Mr. Speaker, I thought I answered the Member's question. The process that I took is I got the department to become aware of this as I became aware of this on the news. We wanted to make the Stanton board aware of my concerns, and that was done and passed on to the medical profession, and the medical profession then took it upon themselves to ensure that pain medication would be administered; and how it is done -- again, I have no control over telling a physician what to do. I think a Minister's powers are limited to some things. I said that we would bring it to their attention, and we have. I am sure that the review board will determine the process.
