Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to thank the Minister for that information and urge her department if they are looking into this, then I am happy to hear that. There are more people than you would think, with the diversification of our economy, who no longer work for the territorial government and who do work for smaller businesses around the North, who are not eligible for NIHB or the Metis health benefit. I hope you will take a look at this. The $250 co-payment might not seem onerous, but when you consider possibly no room at the boarding home at Larga and a few years to diagnose certain diseases, it can add up. I thank the Minister for looking into that.
