It is an expensive area to operate. You know the medical care, the fuel costs. We just signed a new five-year medevac contract that enhances our services, but it does increase our commitment to that. As we stated in the answer to MLA Bisaro, the Medical Travel program is under review, and I believe it’s beginning in June. We will make sure, I am sure, that it’s part of that process of finding out what the cost driver is and how we could best meet the future demands and how to do it better. I would be happy to report to the Members on that.
