Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Minister raises a couple good points about the book and the 1-800 number and he's probably very right that they do serve a purpose, because I've even used the book and I haven't had the pleasure of using the 1-800 number yet, but they are services. But, Mr. Speaker, the book has been out for at least two years and the 1-800 number service has been out since the spring of this year. Mr. Speaker, we are still dealing with six and eight-hour waiting periods. Mr. Speaker, I can't refer to it too much, but there is a survey being done by this hospital at this time and it doesn't talk about waiting times. It talks about satisfaction, cleanliness, politeness, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, but it doesn't talk about waiting times. Mr. Speaker, will this Minister address the waiting times that people have to go through sitting in the waiting room and then in the examining room to get services? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
