Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am not sure if this should be part of the review of the supplementary health benefit anyway. That's a wide spectrum of areas and this is a very specific thing. Another thing I suggest to the Minister is I don't believe the government has the right to raise money by breaking its own law of equal treatment. Look at the situation, Mr. Speaker. It's only those who don't have services in their communities who have to pay this and it's only those who don't have their own company insurance, government insurance or some kind of non-insured health benefits under aboriginal programs. So it's the working poor without a job or the self-employed who are paying this. This is totally against equality provisions. So why can't the Minister come up with a way of dealing with that? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
