Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, my question is in regards to the health insurance program, especially the non-insured health program that is specifically for aboriginal and first nations people.
In my riding, one thing you find is there is not really enough money to adequately provide services when you look at the cuts that have taken place. For eyeglasses, you are limited to one pair, I think, every two years. In dental care, there is a top I believe of $400 per person.
I think that because of these cuts, it is affecting the health and well-being of these people because of the total bill for the whole procedure. I wonder what is this government doing to try to top that up so that you are not maxing out your health benefit program?
Could the Minister tell me what her department is doing to ensure people are not told, "Sorry, you have used up your limit. Come back next year, come back in two years"? Especially for people with glasses and dental care. That is the area where I hear the most concerns. Could the Minister tell me, what are they doing to top up that program so people get the care they really need? Thank you.
