Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My question is in regard to the non-insured health benefits. I think a lot of the funds, especially when it comes to aboriginal people in the different regions and communities who feel that the whole health care program in which they thought they were protected under treaty rights or as an aboriginal right is slowly deteriorating that are presently being allocated to this government from Ottawa seems to be declining or basically are not really being identified so that they know exactly what those benefits cover and exactly how they are benefiting the different aboriginal groups. I would like to ask the Minister, is there a formula in place to allocation based on aboriginal per capita breakdown by a particular riding or region? How do you know how much money is being allocated to which particular region out of the non-insured health benefit dollars that we get from Ottawa? Is there a formula or scenario of how that is being allocated?
