Thank you, Mr. Voytilla. Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess if I could trouble them to restate, although they sort of answered this before, but if I could trouble the Minister to restate when it’s expected that they’ll have the 2005-2006 numbers up to date and to give us a full sense of what’s being carried forward, the problem, and in the sense of who we can work forward to make this adjustment. Thank you.
Minister Roland, please.

I’m just trying to get a sense of…Well, it’s a significant increase and I guess I wonder, does our 2006-2007 budget address some of these shortfalls? I mean, in essence are we under funding this sort of policy and premium at this time and will we be challenged with a new supp before us sometime in the new budget year? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
