Thank you, Mr. Chair. So going back to the COVID endemic funding. So when that sunseted, we also -- and I announced -- remember, I did that long list of all of the different funding pots that we just recently -- so the shared health priorities that we got funding from Health Canada for activities under the new bilateral agreement and the Working Together to Improve Health Care for Canadians, which includes family health services, health workforce and mental wellness, substance abuse, that was an increase of $4.382 million to this budget. There was an increase with the collective agreement. So that offsetted -- so those positions that we had -- that long list of positions that ended with the sunset funding of COVID, we tried to mitigate that with a lot of the new positions that -- and it also covered some of the positions that were -- you know, where we were keeping with that funding. So it's kind of more of a math thing in here. We've sunsetted this much, and then there was an increase of the $4.382 million to offset some of those costs in that area. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
