Thank you, Madam Chair. I think the big thing, the fear factor for me in all of this is now the department is going to go back to that hospital and as a result of the chronic underfunding that's taken place there over the past few years, it's going to go back there and demand that they make some tough decisions because of that underfunding, which is going to put even more pressure and more strain on the employees that work there and also on the public who use that facility. I think it's just an appalling thing to allow to happen, Madam Chair. Again, I'm not sure, I'm going to go back and double check on the recording or the reporting of numbers because personally I'm not 100 percent sure on which FAM directive it is or which part of the FAA it is, but given the fact that Stanton was operated with a public administrator, I do believe there is a responsibility of Department of Health and Social Services to report that deficit to this House. Not two years later, but in the year that the deficit was accrued and that happened in 2005-2006. Madam Chair, I am going to double check on that just to make sure that everything is aboveboard. Thank you.
