Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, my next question is in regards to both fees and payments for materials and supplies. There's a significant amount of fluctuation in both of those line items, and I'm wondering if there is a theme in either that speaks to what causes this fluctuation and if there's something if there's a reason for that? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I wanted to ask some questions about the medical travel benefits. This is something that I know has come up quite a bit over the course of the term, and my understanding is this is quite common. And the focus of the questions largely have been around the amount that is offered to residents when it comes to medical travel, especially with the sorry, in especially in relation to per diems for the cost for food and the cost for accommodations.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm seeing that there is a decrease a small decrease but still a decrease in funding to child and family services. And I'm wondering if the Minister can speak to why we're seeing a slight decrease here and what's fuelling that? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. And thank you for that. Likely, you know, we'll have that opportunity. I'm wondering if the Minister can also identify what is the cost per bed that Stanton Legacy uses for longterm care clients and the cost per bed that they use for extended care facilities? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm wondering if this is the area where Stanton Legacy would be found.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, when will Health have a better idea of what the move in day is because I know that, you know, summer is a season but it's a quickly approaching season, thankfully, even though we look outside and it's very chilly out it goes fast. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. And can the Minister confirm when the opening day is for Stanton Legacy? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I absolutely agree with the Minister.

Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm going to go back to my question from earlier. I'm wondering what amount is set aside for O and M for Stanton Legacy in this section? Thank you.
