Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, as I indicated, the work has been done for the initial document. This is a complex area and we as a legislature have not had a policy discussion about the type of health care system we have, what changes we may want to anticipate. Right now, on the supplementary health side, we have a fragmented system of delivery that has evolved over the years with no clear linkages in many cases and it has become time to look at that. But it's going to require careful consideration because there are implications in a number of areas, not the least of which is the one in terms of the services we currently provide for the federal government in addition to the other supplementary health care programs we provide to our own residents that are not covered under those federal programs.
There are cost implications, to be sure, but depending on the direction that's chosen that's going to require some policy discussion. It's not just a case anymore of just putting more money into the current system. We have to look at how the system is now operating. Clearly, if the debate in this House over the last eight years is any indication, the system requires an overhaul, that particular program area for sure. The intent is to move that into Cabinet and the committees as soon as we can. The work is done, as is the work on the disability framework, which has just recently been signed off by the four deputies of the involved departments. We are now ready to take it into Cabinet and committee, as well. Thank you.
