Well, I would ask that my honourable colleague ask that question to the Minister of Health. I do not know the answer to that question. I am the Minister of Finance. It is not a detail that I would have at my fingertips and I am prepared to get that information. Some of this stuff is 10 to 15 years old and you know, we need to take a look at it. I am trying to be as cooperative as I can, but I was asked two days ago about this issue. I cannot produce 15-year old data, 10-year old data overnight. It is just simply, not done. I will get the information that my colleague requires as quickly as I can and I will look into his concern. If he has any others, maybe he should tell me now, so I am not going back and forth. I would go back to my honourable colleague and say, could you be much more specific, does he have a concern about where the government historically received its money, and I think what he is saying to me and was it specifically designated for aboriginal people? Is that what my honourable colleague is trying to get to in terms of the overall question?
