Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I guess I can say that there has not been any real rationale for how Health and Welfare Canada Medical Services Branch allocated their dollars for non-insured health benefits. It is something that aboriginal groups certainly have been trying to find out about. The $14.7 million, as I indicated that comes in, we pay out based on claims that come in under the approved guidelines. If they require preapproval from Ottawa after it is approved there or if it does not require preapproval from Ottawa that fits within the guidelines based on pharmaceutical invoices or dental services invoices that come in. That is how we pay it out, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
