I thank the Senator for that. We are going to get her the beds number. We had some very good news for St. John's. I am just going to find it now. In the new bed plan, we have committed an additional 57 beds to St. John's. I have been in the hospital several times. It has an amazing team that put a very strong case together.

The Senator will be aware that 15 beds have been delivered and in the new plan, we have committed to an additional 42 on top of that. It will be a very substantial increase for St. John's and much deserved. It has an incredible team. It has been my great pleasure to be in with them a few times.

On the cancer infrastructure and services, I have a lot of detail here. What I might do is ask the officials to send the Senator a note.
