Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, that is a very complex question. I would have to make sure I discuss it with my Cabinet colleagues and the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs to see what the implications are with ongoing negotiations. I will definitely raise that issue, but I want to reassure the Member that the Metis health benefits are based only on the benefits schedule that is used for NIHB and that is the only thing. The Blue Cross is strictly a payment function. It is not on a contract basis. Thank you.
