Mr. Chairman, I would like to clarify my comments. The excellent services offered by the Kiquti Clinic probably are comparable to the previous level of service. There are some pluses with this new approach, in that, it is locally based and locally owned.

No, the problem, Mr. Chairman, is that the federal government is not providing the same level of funding that was provided when the service was delivered through the University of Manitoba. The Keewatin Health Board has put together an excellent service which is based on the previous funding levels, but we are not getting the money from the federal government.

It is not a shortfall of services, it is a shortfall of funds that is the problem. Thank you.
