Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the way that this works is that it's at per needs. So if a person is requiring it, now we have extra staff that we can use to dedicate that person to being able to provide detox. And so normally up until now, all of our hospitals did do this in some shape or form. They -- you know, when people were coming in, they were detoxing them. Sometimes there would be admissions when people were needing detox before going to the hospital. But these would never have been funded. So they were always just on top of being an admission into the hospital. And now we have designated funding so that way -- so when people -- when we talk about beds, we're talking about the number of nurses being able to provide that one-on-one care that might need for those residents. And I know over the three-year period, the agreement has 24 FTEs to be added for this initiative. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
