Thank you. Okay, and thank you for those numbers. That’s the first time I’ve personally heard those numbers. Mr. Speaker, do those numbers take into account the opportunities that we have discussed here for people who are in the $50,000 or lower to opt out of third-party insurance programs? Does that take that into consideration? Because it’s fine to say, well, we’ll look at that after the fact, but I would suggest that’s like looking at it after, you know, closing the door after the horses are out of the barn here. These are the kinds of things that need to be considered before, before you implement a policy and not afterwards, and this is why we’re saying we need to take the time to make sure we get this right, before we run with it. I don’t know why the Minister doesn’t agree to defer this until we have something that we can agree to. This is consensus government.
