Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister responsible for Aboriginal Affairs. My question deals with treaty and aboriginal rights, Mr. Speaker.
Non-insured health benefits is a treaty right. Under the treaties that were signed in 1900 and 1921, Treaty 8 and 11, and reviewed later with the Inuit people of the Northwest Territories, the federal government is to pay for certain items in the area of health and education. Is it under the responsibility of the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs to protect aboriginal rights in the Northwest Territories? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
