Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I have indicated earlier in this House, I have already written to the Metis presidents to ask if we could gather in March to discuss the issue of Metis health benefits.

Even though it is strictly an administrative matter and there is a contract that is expiring, we will make arrangements with Alberta Blue Cross to continue the contract on a month-by-month basis.

I will agree to put the RFP on hold until we have time to have this meeting and put all these issues on the table and hope to get a consensus, so that we can continue on with this very important program. Thank you.
