Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On page 6-13, Community Wellness Programs, I have been contacted by the Yellowknife Metis Council and they have indicated that for the past couple of years they have been attempting to acquire Community Wellness Program funding which apparently goes to the city of Yellowknife. The Metis Council has not apparently received any of this funding whatsoever. They have informed me that if they were in any other community, they would be classified similar to a government because they have the Metis locals. They are wondering if there is any way they can be allocated funding directly without having to go through the City of Yellowknife similar to how other municipal governments receive their funding. As I said, they are looking for an assurance that they will be able to receive money. Could the Minister make some type of commitment to ensure the Yellowknife Metis actually do receive some money and they are not sitting on the outside looking in as they have in the past couple of years? Thank you.
