One moment, please. I believe there are about $12 million of outstanding receivables that Stanton Hospital is working on, and the largest portion of that is from the Nunavut government. But there are other routine receivables they’re working on. They do provide services they could bill other third parties for. I don’t think WCB is one of them, but there are other health authorities

that they are to bill, and they do bill and they get money. I just want to emphasize that these are not extraordinary situations, in that it is a $100 million hospital. They do provide services to anybody who walks into operations. There is a lag in time between the time they bill and the time they collect.
