Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have one more question for the Minister of Health and Social Services. There has been a lot of work going on trying to determine the number of Metis people in the Northwest Territories. In the budget, there was $1 million to provide benefits for the Metis people in the Northwest Territories. Can the Minister of Health and Social Services advise us as to what the status is of that program?
Question 641-12(7): Status Of Metis Health Benefits

Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to advise the honourable Member that we are very near completion of our discussions with Mr. Bohnet, the president of the Metis Nation. Officials are working very diligently so that we come up with the numbers and that we can move ahead as quickly as possible in instituting the Metis benefit package. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
