The Minister stated earlier in the week that she was working out arrangements with the Status of Women to deliver programs and services in communities. But basically they are a society, they are not recognized in my riding - basically we are fighting over the same dollars, especially if you talk about community wellness dollars, you talk about funding for healing centres or basically even programs within communities. The Bands on one hand are fighting over, the Hamlet is fighting over the same money yet now you are throwing a third party into this picture. Somehow you have to coordinate all these efforts that are going on. I think that the point I am making is that you know, are aboriginal institutions recognized as institutions similar to municipal institutions? If they are not, come right out and say it.
