Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, one of the biggest costs to us, if I can get this plug in one more time, that costs us millions, absolute millions is our drinking, smoking and lack of exercise and poor diet. The amount we spend on administration between the boards and the department, we figure is in the neighbourhood of seven to eight percent. Out of our $247 million budget, over $180 million of that will go immediately to the authorities and they will administer the programs on our behalf. We want to make sure that we don't duplicate our administration costs or spend too much money on admin. It is a legitimate concern. It can get away from a person. We are vigilant and we know we are under close scrutiny by the legislature to make sure we aren't wasting program money on admin. So it's something we try to be very conscious of. Thank you.
