Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I questioned the former Minister of Health and Social Services on this issue last year because the department was considering not re-entering the contract to deliver non-insured health benefits to Treaty Indians and Inuit people in the Northwest Territories because of what the Minister has just said. The federal government was not paying what our government had been submitting the bills for. So the question I am asking is, has the non-insured health benefits entire budget been eroding over the years since the Government of the Northwest Territories have had the contract to deliver programs and services on behalf of government under the non-insured health benefits? Thank you.
