Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to give the department a kudos in that, when I had surgery in Edmonton, I was actually told that we get in very high on the list over Albertans because the Northwest Territories pays their bills very well and on time, so I always thought that was kind of an interesting comment. I just want to know if maybe you could explain, if the department could explain to me or the Minister -- and this is just my own knowledge. We just have a line item here for the Health and Social Services Authority funding on page 190, and I am just curious to know: what function do the health authorities play in out of service, like what is this money used for with respect to out of service or out-of-territory services? Is it to administer getting patients out of territory? Because I would wonder if that would be captured under medical travel. I am not sure if that is a very clear question, but thank you.
