Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the same constituent of mine would say, the Minister is continuing to snowball me into distraction. Mr. Speaker, the fact is -- and I don't think for one second that the Minister is not reading the papers or watching the reporters on this -- we have mothers who are being told to go Edmonton to deliver their babies or induce labour here. There are a lot of extra costs associated with that. The lights are on at Stanton Hospital and nurses are on staff, but no customers. Has the Minister done the calculation of what this overall cost is in hiring locums, leaving the hospital empty and having all our mothers deliver babies in Edmonton and making the Alberta coffers richer by the day? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
