Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think the Member should be aware that while I appreciate his comments, it’s been an accepted practice — actually it’s a rule — that every year the health authorities have to submit a balanced budget to the Minister. There is nothing new there. The practice is the same this year. The growth projections are capped, and the authorities have been asked to live with 3 per cent growth. Final decisions have not been made about how that is going to be implemented or how that is going to be broken out, so I do not have that information right now to give to the Member.
