Mr. Chairman, what the department is doing now, perhaps how I would describe it is a broader and more current version of what we inherited at the time of transfer and had been updated in some respects. The medical services branch, passed on to the department at the time that we took over responsibility for the delivery system, had a far reaching set of program and clinical standards in place. We support board activities in those areas. There is and has always been some concern around certain areas, the appropriateness of those standards. There has always been debate around the ability to deliver against those standards. Clearly, there is structure in the system today that we use and, obviously, it needs updating. This is what we have been working toward. Thank you.
