Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in a couple of areas we are already meeting what times we have talked about and discussed. For example, hips and knees and cataracts are areas where we have already got fairly good coverage, so we are meeting on some of those targets the federal government has sort of aimed at as we feel we are adequate in those areas. Our challenges are, and we continue to be challenged, for example in primary care first contact. When a patient goes into a health centre or a hospital, what are our challenges? Our greatest challenges are in the smallest communities. Hence, the target of a community health nurse education initiative that we are looking at as well as the nurse practitioners side. We are also working on diagnostic imaging. We continue to work in that area, for example, with Capital Health Authority. We are working in that area to improve on the diagnostic imaging area. Thank you.
