Thank you, Mr. Chairman. No, there will be no specific terms attached to that funding, because we want to give the Boards and the communities the flexibility to set their own priorities. Although we do recognize because of that, there may be some fallout to the residential treatment centres. For example, I know concerns have been raised there be more focus on mobile treatment or other community-based treatment with those alcohol and drug treatment dollars, that it may adversely impact on the Boards. We will be monitoring the occupancy levels very vigorously to ensure we are on top of what is happening with the treatment centres, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
