Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not know how much more we can add to all the comments all my colleagues have put forward. I would like to say the Minister is doing a good job in listening to all of us. There is one area I think I should make comments about, where the Minister did say that he would like to thank us for the valuable advice we gave him and the discussions have helped to improve the department's plan and refine the direction we are taking. I hope the advice I gave him about the income support claw-back would be some of the advice he is talking about using. I can see where the reduced expenditures on income support, the amount of money of the claw-back sort of equals the amount of reduced spending. The amount of money that IBAs from Treaty 11 and Treaty 8 have been clawed back.
On that, I would just like to add one more thing. The amount of money that we spend on the lawyers to get the legal interpretation could have probably been put to better use if the Minister and the Cabinet could have just changed the policy. The interpretation I have was that the people who had the IBA funds were entitled to those funds under treaty entitlement. Before the session is over, maybe the Minister and the Cabinet can change the policy so we do not have to see this or hear this again in any other business plans. Thank you.
