Thank you, Mr. Chairman. For this year, it’s completely 100 percent funded by the federal government. This was the last year we had to draw. If we didn’t draw we would have missed the opportunity altogether, because the federal government, when they announced it, put in the trust and gave us a deadline. In going forward, because this is going to be a multi-year program, we will have to invest some money into that to continue.

On the question about the consent, yes, the programs are going to be delivered through the schools by our public health professionals. The parents would have to give a consent to it. No one will be required to do it if they don’t want to do it. Our staff will be providing the necessary information to help the parents make the right choices. I understand there is no unanimity about the merits of this situation, but at the same time there were parents who were asking for it and the federal

government had provided funding for it. There were some parents who were paying their own money to vaccinate their children and the vaccination is quite expensive. We decided that on balance it was better to have it available, and it’s up to the parents whether they want to participate in the program or not. Thank you.
