Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to make it clear that I am not advocating the erosion of medicare. What I am talking about is for the services that aren't provided

by medicare, such as more than one medical travel out which, for my constituents, can cost in the neighbourhood of $1,000 a trip. I am talking about drug costs that aren't covered by medicare. It seems to me that if an insurance scheme is being considered, which would be funded by $1 million available to provide Metis health benefits, would it not be possible for others to pay premiums and get the benefit of that kind of coverage as well as for Metis, who wouldn't have to pay the premiums. I am asking the Minister if she would look at setting up an insurance scheme that would be available to ensure that others who were not covered for these benefits that fall outside of medicare, could take the benefit of the economies of scale that may arise from setting up a new insurance scheme for Metis in the territories? Thank you.
