Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a question for the Minister on this area of the now hospital that's proposed. This government entered into an agreement with the federal government -- I believe it was in 1988 -- for the transfer of the hospitals and, at that time, there was an agreement put in place that there was $1 million a year to be transferred over to this government for the hospitals being built. Can the Minister tell me if those monies are in this capital or put aside in a reserve of some sort? Thank you.
