—therapeutic substitution, and also the publicly funded portion of that, because the whole cost may not be subsidized. We look at the provincial formularies, at what is going to be subsidized by the provincial government, and the cost is based on that.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to make note of this. We started our committee meeting five minutes late, and then of course, in the middle, Mr. Chair, you interjected. I believe your comments took about four minutes and a bit, and now two minutes with the analyst, which I don't oppose.
What that means is that it robbed me of another round, because I believe the next round would have been five minutes with the Liberal member side, and I would have gotten another round.

That's fine. You can challenge me. It actually wouldn't have limited you, because we still had five more minutes from the Conservatives and five more minutes from the Liberals, so we wouldn't have gotten there, but I accept that.
My main goal is that the committee as a whole gets the information it needs from the officials who are here, so that's why I felt it was important to clarify decisions that were made.
We've come to the end of our time. The meeting is adjourned.
