Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just some detail at a high level is the funding that I spoke about before around the reallocation of the $15 million to health system pressures and the new money that got added to the budget for this 2025-2026 year, as well to address the health system pressures, are largely for things on administrative nature that have been creating deficits. For example, records management, those positions had been existing, but we had not put budget to them, so they had been creating deficit. Occupational health and safety staff, infection prevention and control, temporary accommodations for -- or accommodations for temporary staff. There had been lease costs that have also been historically contributing to the deficit for the authorities. Largely, those are administrative type things. So there is a good chunk of that money that's showing up in that administrative line. But the other piece of it is exactly as you described being the collective agreement increases for the staff that are considered administrative in nature as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
