Thank you, Mr. Chairman, I did have my hand up. I believed I caught your attention, but you obviously missed it. Sorry about that. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I support Mr. Roland's position there. Let us get on with it. The decision is made. I think the questions have to be answered. I think the Minister did state it will not give you an answer whether you are getting your hospital or not, so I support you in pursuing that. But I do not think this is the avenue that will do it.

My question on this, Mr. Speaker, is it looks like 95 per cent or so of the budget is directed towards treatment and five per cent towards prevention. Does the Minister have any figures from the previous year on how much has been spent on treatment and how much on prevention? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
