Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Our department has been working with Municipal and Community Affairs and municipal councils in an effort to address the difficulties and the problems that have arisen as a result of what you might call an outbreak. I am not even sure that is an accurate word to use, but part of our problem is we are not clear who is responsible for addressing this problem. In most cases, it is the responsibility taken on by municipalities, but we are down to even quibbling about who is responsible for paying for the shots that have to be administered, where the money should come from and who should be carrying out the vaccinations. I have asked my department to simply take the lead in making sure the job is done and sort out the details of who should be carrying this on as a normal practice and responsibility, later on. Thank you.
