Under health services administration, Mr. Chairman, it provides the health insurance services, which also includes the supplementary health benefits, non-insured health benefits, out-of-territories hospitals, the physicians inside the Northwest Territories, the physicians outside the Northwest Territories, and medical travel. In addition, services are provided to native residents under contract with Health Canada. There has been some concern and controversy in our region of the Northwest Territories, and that specifically being Nunavut, on the non-insured health benefits. Can the Minister update us at this time, what is happening with the non-insured health benefits and maybe alleviate some of the concerns that have been brought forward?
