Thank you, Madam Chair. I very much appreciate that willingness by this unit to sort of be flexible or work with the other initiatives that are underway to sort of change the plan as necessary. I mean, I'll be honest and say my biggest fear about the sort of initial exercise of sorting it into core or non-core services and what's needed and not needed is that we'll just take a big look at everything we're already doing and then ask the question what are people going to miss most if we take it away, and if we feel like people won't notice as much or miss it as much then we'll just sort of take it away because it looks like a cost saving opportunity. But to me, the right approach would be to start with what are we actually trying to accomplish, what are the different possible ways of accomplishing it, are we choosing the right way of accomplishing something, the right way that's most cost efficient, that's most culturally appropriate, the most effective in terms of helping people over the long term with their health. So I mean I offer those as comments that I hope the unit will take to heart and -- because I know often politically, we just look for the -- you know, we look for some easy wins and we look for things that people aren't going to object too strongly against or if people won't notice if we take things away. But I think with health care, we really need to go back to basics in terms of what are we -- what are we trying to accomplish here.

One thing that I wanted to ask about the evaluation framework is that my understanding was that the plan was that after a year, the department would start coming up with some indicators to track, you know, are things getting better, are we having success with our work. But my concern would be that isn't that too late to start tracking things because if we want to see a change over time, if we want to know if the work is improving things, don't we have to start monitoring and tracking the situation now and then we'll see if things change and get better over time. We need to establish the baseline of where we're at now to be able to compare to once, you know, significant changes are made within the system, have things gotten better or have things gotten worse. Is this unit able to help create that kind of baseline now in terms of establishing indicators and starting to monitor them now so we know what our baseline is? Thank you, Madam Chair.
