Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, we have asked the departments to take a look at this and it doesn't matter which department is affected. Take a look at it and see what the impact is and whether there's ways of us doing business a little differently or helping out. But, Mr. Speaker, at the same time let me say that we can't just jump in whenever the federal government decides to opt out, because it just gets very expensive for us. So we want to be creative, we want to work with the NGOs and the others who are impacted by these programs. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
