Thank you, Madam Chair. I'll try to be as clear as I can here. This hospital is in all kinds of financial trouble. It was two years ago. This only covers, the $2.9 million, Madam Chair, only covers half of that deficit. That's half. That's almost $6 million, $5.8 million. Also on this page, Madam Chair, there's provision for $732,000 for increased costs resulting from the job re-evaluations. There's also $563,000 anticipated utilization of maternity and paternity leave. I'd like to ask the Minister, why are those two numbers not rolled into the debt? Why don't we get a clear picture of where we're at and what is the current deficit at this flagship of our health care system? What is the deficit today? I think the Minister should provide that information to the House immediately so we can make plans to correct things there. Thank you, Madam Chair.
