Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Finance. The Finance Minister's budget address reports that progress has been made on a number of outstanding problems, including the health billings dispute. As we all know, prior to and especially since 1988 when health care was transferred over to the Government of the Northwest Territories from the federal government for the administration of health services to treaty Indians and Inuit, there has been a dispute over billings for health services which were provided to treaty Indians and Inuit; as a result, this government has taken the federal government to court to try to settle this dispute. I would like to ask the Minister of Finance what type of progress he's reporting to us in his budget address when he mentioned the health billings dispute. Thank you.
