Thank you, Madam Speaker. It really depends on individual cases. I am not familiar with the details of Mr. Gargan's question, but with Social Services it is usually that if the patient dies out of territories and the family cannot afford to pay for the transportation and for the casket, Social Services pays for the costs. One of the criteria that we use is if that person or the family is receiving social assistance. Thank you.
