Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thanks to the Minister for his comments, and to the deputy minister. It would be interesting to know what this negative amount in our reserve is going to cost us. I mean, the Minister is constantly reminding us that we need to not spend more money because we’re in a short-term borrowing situation. We have to borrow periodically during the year and the number of times that we have to borrow, apparently, is getting to be more and more frequent. There’s a cost to doing this and I would be interested in knowing that cost.
The other thing, if it’s not too much work, I would be interested in knowing for, say, the last three to five years, I would be interested in knowing the cost for even the four items that were mentioned by the Minister, blood and plasma protein products, southern placements for children and adults, and medical travel. I’d be interested in knowing what we budgeted and what we had to come back for as a supplementary appropriation, just so that I could get a sense of a trend. If there’s any other big ticket items that the department cares to provide that information for, I think it would be very, very useful. No question there, Mr. Chair. Thank you very much.
