I am disappointed with that answer, Madam Chair, and I will follow up with further questioning in the House. I will carry on with a new question. We have heard quite a bit of discussion over the last few weeks. And I should say that in 1996, as you know in the Hansard, I had asked questions concerning breast cancer. I would like to follow up with that question tonight. Will the Minister commit to addressing the need for a coordinated breast cancer screening and awareness program with the proper equipment in place from his department? I know in previous questions, the Minister has said it is a board concern and the board has to decide. But if we have an outbreak for example of whooping cough, does the Minister allow the board to decide if they are going to inoculate people or would he make a directive through his Medical Health Officer? So I think it is a fair question. So I am just asking if the Minister would commit to addressing the need for a coordinated breast cancer screening and awareness program with the proper equipment and hopefully review that from the departmental end. Thank you.
