Mr. Speaker, certainly we hope that the test will be effective. We have been working with those who are developing these tests to ensure that upon receipt of the application, which is not within our control, it will be dealt with immediately. In fact, we have every confidence that as long as the application is received in a timely fashion the test will be available for blood screening on July 1.
