Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, rather then being embarrassed and apologetic about my measured tactful comments and questions, I would suggest that the Minister might want to consider being embarrassed and apologetic about once again turning her back on the public tendering process, yet again going out to a sole-source contract for hundreds of thousands of dollars to a southern contractor, by-passing the northern expertise and turning her back on the northern solution for northern problems.

Having said that, I do have some questions about budgets. If in fact we have at least four health boards that do not have approved budgets for this year, that it is uncertain what the deficit is, what the bottom line will be at the end of the fiscal year, what figures are being used in the main estimates given that uncertainty and lack of clear financial information to make that determination? Thank you.
