Thank you, Mr. Chair. Also on 6-22, we had some discussion in the last couple of days about the supplementary health program, specifically about the co-payment. Yesterday the Minister had indicated that these were a basket of programs and he didn't want to deal with them piecemeal in isolation. Not his exact words, but that's the sense that I got of it. But he had, in fact, announced that he would be increasing the benefit to Metis health benefits. I think that's a good thing. I think though that there is still this gap that needs to be dealt with, and the Minister has acknowledged that that gap exists. So now it's up to us to find a way to help those folks who are falling through the cracks where the program is concerned.

Mr. Chairman, I guess what I'm looking for here; maybe I should just start with the Metis health benefits. The main estimates don't appear to show any increase in funding, despite the fact that the Minister said as of April 1st we are moving to 100 percent coverage of the co-payment from 80 percent. I'm wondering if I don't understand this, or somehow this is cost neutral, or why the Minister hasn't planned for further expenditures here. Thank you.
