Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As you know, in my
region, there is a self-government negotiation process going on and self-government is based on aboriginal rights in regard to the inherent right. It is under section 35 of the constitution. I believe one of the things they are presently looking at is the funding that has been allocated to this government from Ottawa. This is one of the federal dollars that is being considered is the $14.7 million. Has this government made an effort to try to figure out exactly how that $14 million fits into the different aboriginal groups, especially the ones looking at self-government, to see what program dollars are being allocated on their behalf and exactly how it is being distributed? Have they looked at the formula and the allocation of these funds, which presently come from Ottawa, in regard to aboriginal people when you talk about non-insured health benefits?
