Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, a statistic of interest is the fact that there are 124 nursing positions at Stanton and we now only have five vacancies, which I believe is a good indicator that the things we've done to deal with recruitment and retention with the nursing profession have borne fruit. I also recognize that when there's change, there are always some people who support it and invariably whatever decision is made some people don't support it. As Minister, I have to make choices and decisions in the broadest, most careful, measured way I can, recognizing that not everybody will possibly agree. In this case, we made a decision that I think was the right one and we have tried to make sure that we can address everybody's concerns and in some cases we've been able to. Clearly, as the Member states, there are some that are still not satisfied. Thank you.
