Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, earlier in a response to Mr. Ootes, Mr. Todd mentioned the Baffin Regional Hospital and a $48 million request. I should clarify that there was no request for $48 million for the Baffin hospital. That was a study to indicate the cost of a new facility would be $48 million. I am just going to follow up on that under the P3 initiative. Mr. Todd mentioned a $25 million envelope that he has set for the hospital construction. I am wondering if the financial contribution that now is forthcoming in answer to earlier questions in this House by the Health Minister from the federal government, if Mr. Todd could indicate if that monies could be used toward the $25 million that we already have allocated under the P3 initiative for the Baffin hospital and have that money in a revenue stream for the Baffin hospital, so that we can actually get to the point where we could have the facility that the study indicated? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
