Okay, thank you, Madam Chair. I appreciate the information and, yes, we have had a fairly good exchange about this as committee. From what I picked up on this, the department has recognized and taken action to make better utilization of our own facilities here at Stanton and see if we can do something, and I hope something quite significant, about reducing what the Minister said is potentially as many as 1,800 bed days that we did not need to send to Capital Health but, of course, ended up paying for. The Minister mentioned that this has been in effect for some months now. I'm wondering if Mr. Miltenberger would have some indication for committee if we are indeed making a difference on that. Are we better coordinating among our different health authorities? Are we reducing the cost incurred at Capital Health? Thank you.
