Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this situation has resolved itself in terms of the accreditation issue. We no longer have, have not had I believe since last May, any kind of relationship with the facility in question or the program in question. Arrangements have been made both in Edmonton and in the North for the folks that were involved or staying at that facility and in that program. The issues that were raised in terms of mistreatment and other concerns that were raised by some of the former staff of that facility are being dealt with. It's in Alberta. It's a situation that occurred in Alberta. It's an Alberta program that's run under the standards and rules of the Government of Alberta and they've been dealing with that. Our role has solely been as buying a service from that particular organization, and when the troubles occurred we severed that relationship in the best interests of the clients that were being served and we made alternate arrangements. Thank you.
