Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On page 6-28, we have health promotion contributions. Again, a couple of days ago, we were discussing the issue of population health and the need to switch from treatment to the prevention model. I am just wondering why we have not seen any growth in this. I guess when I look back to the 2000-2001 actuals, you can see that there has actually been a 25 percent reduction in the past two years in the amount of money put into health promotion contributions. I think it is absolutely important that we spend more money to encourage healthy lifestyles and healthy children. I am sure the Minister would agree, so why are we not seeing more of an emphasis placed in this area?
