Thank you. No, there's no staff. Thank you.

Thank you. So the evaluation would be winter of 2026. Thank you.

Thank you. It's a pinch point all right, and we're doing our best. Thank you.

Thank you. And these are the conversations that I've had with the Minister of Health and Social Services and we've collectively had with our respective teams because we do have, as I mentioned, the health authorities, the public administrator, the department of health, and the healthcare system sustainability unit. We wanted to move in a coordinated fashion. And so already the -- those conversations are happening, the work of the healthcare system sustainability unit is -- it's not that there will be, you know, no progress and then all of a sudden a final product. There's progress along the...

Thank you. So it would be the RCMP who actually maintains that database and has that information, and the department would work to support them. I'm not sure if the deputy minister has anything to add to that, but I can hand it to her, Madam Chair. Thanks.

Prime Minister Trudeau has stated that he has initiated counter tariffs on our side of the border and with additional counter tariffs coming in a few weeks, depending on how things go.
