Yes. Absolutely. And just one last thing. The way they define emergency surgery in Canada is any surgery that doesn't at this moment save your life. What does that mean? Someone who needs bypass surgery, who has a 99 percent lesion in their artery, unless they are dying that moment, if they get bypass surgery, that is elective surgery. And we saw a recent example where a premier from Newfoundland literally came across the border to get his heart surgery because he chose the United States of America to get his care as opposed to his own homeland. We know people come from around the world. If they have the resources to get care here, they know where the best care in the world is. We've got problems, but these are solvable problems that we can use a scalpel to fix rather than taking a wrecking ball to the entire system and rebuilding it in a socialist view.
