I again thank Mr. Tierney for the invitation to visit the hospital. On behalf of all members, we found it interesting. We got a sense of the scale of the operation that is going on there and particularly of the potential of the actual site itself. I thank them for that. Before bringing in the members, one of the big questions in the minds of many people who are watching this morning will be how much this will actually cost. Do we have a sense of how much it will cost? When will we see patients moving into the hospital? The witnesses might walk us through those two points before we get into the nub of the meeting itself. Does anyone want to kick off on those two points?
