Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Health and Social Services. It revolves around my statement earlier today on the subject of medical travel co-payments. Right now, Mr. Speaker, we have a three-tier health benefits program for supplementary health benefits. The status Dene and Inuit people have full coverage paid for by the federal government. Metis people now have 80 percent coverage and that is soon to be rising to 100 percent paid for by this government. The balance doesn't enjoy the same level of coverage. How does the Minister justify a three-tiered approach to supplementary health benefits in the Northwest Territories?
