Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I indicated in my Minister's statement, we have realized some very significant progress in our negotiations with Health Canada. The actions indicated in the document that Mr. Nitah refers to may not be relevant now because we have secured agreement on $800,000 on disputed billings and we have another $700,000 under review. They are also considering supplementing administrative costs of delivering the program.

Mr. Speaker, we are now hopeful that we will be able to continue to deliver this program. Should this not be the case, then absolutely we would consult with aboriginal organizations on the decision that we would take. We would also, as I said, ensure that there was no disruption to services provided by the program to the beneficiaries. Thank you.
