Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's a good point, yet this government derives 85 per cent of its revenues from the federal government and a large portion of those revenues come from the Department of Indian Affairs for status Indians. This was a band member who was an Indian, so you're telling me because this individual wasn't living here -even though you're willing to take money from the federal government for all aboriginal people in the Northwest Territories, which is based on the band lists -- that you will not fund those particular individuals.
