Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I recognize that when we made this decision, there would be some controversy because of the fact that we might not have gone to northern consultant firms. There are, I agree with the Member, a lot of good consulting northern firms out there. The bottom line in this decision, Madam Speaker, is the fact that we did not believe a northern consulting firm could bring together the multi-disciplinary qualifications that some of the personnel that Med-Emerg International had available to them, in this short of a time frame to do the analytical requirements of scoping out our programs and services, based on their past experiences with other jurisdictions and their past experiences in other health and social service program system, Madam Chair. Thank you.
