Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I am aware of the concern as it relates to the $250 co-payment and the fact that there is a specific segment of the population that doesn't have third-party coverage. We have engaged in a process to try to address that issue. I am prepared to work with the committee, the Social Programs committee, once they have had a chance to look at what we have pulled together so far. If there is a way we can move this to some sort of satisfactory resolution and come up with a plan that we can take to Cabinet and agree to, then I would be willing to do that. The intent is at the end of the day to try to make sure that that gap is closed and that that particular segment of the population as outlined by Ms. Lee is not disadvantaged or without the level of service that the majority of other Northerners do. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
