Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would be prepared to sit down with committee and inform them of the necessary steps that needed to be taken. As I stated, there is a policy in place that deals with a surplus or deficit recovery issues and all health board are aware of it. If we find areas where appropriations were made that don't fall into normal programming, we would find each one of our facilities or authorities ready to deal with the issue and usually it means tough decisions. I would be more than happy to sit down with committee once we come up with a plan as to how this is going to be. If we find that, in fact, there's been a chronic underfunding of certain areas, that would come forward in another supplementary appropriation piece. If we find that we need to go through a recovery plan, once I have worked with the appropriate bodies, I would be happy to come back to committee and say here is what the plan is looking like. Thank you.
