Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the issue of waiting lists is a concern for all people that use the healthcare system. As the Members well know, we've been adding physicians, doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners. We made a move from fee-for-service to salary, which has had an impact on patients seen or not seen. So we have some review to do there as well. But the issue of waiting lists and shortening those is an issue that's going to require some possible structural changes, and it's probably going to be beyond the life of this Assembly. But it is an issue that we're trying to address on an ongoing basis so that we can get services in a timely fashion. Thank you.
