Thank you, Madam Chairperson. I will try to summarize my answers from before. Basically, what has happened is Health Canada has centralized their approval back from all jurisdictions back to a central approval centre in Ottawa. The major change is the predetermination level of service is decreased to where there is a treatment plan which the value is $600 or more, in a 12-month period. Primarily, that type of procedure has to be authorized before it can be undertaken, along with whatever else was in the schedule that required authorization out of Ottawa. Thank you.
