Is Ottawa the one who sends you the bill? There must be some basis for how they come up with the scenarios. Is it based on who is on the band list or who is registered as an aboriginal person, Indian, Inuit or Metis? If we get direct billing from Ottawa, there must be some sort of a system in place to notify the federal government of who is eligible and who is not. How do you know at any one time? I am not sure on your numbers, maybe you could elaborate on it. I thought you said $14 million or something for non-aboriginal, non-insured health benefits. What is the number we get from Ottawa? How much is it and exactly how does Ottawa know what to bill to this government?
