Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, at the staff level we have almost around-the-clock, year-round processes and tables going with the federal government. It also, as the Premier has indicated, is an issue of national significance. Minister Pettigrew was up here a couple of months ago. The issue of health was raised with him. We've suggested things like it would make sense to take DIAND health programs and put them under Health Canada where they belong, where they can be administered with some consistency and with some possible greater efficiencies. We've successfully negotiated and got the federal government to acknowledge that there's no need for holdbacks.
So we are continuing to press. There's also ongoing pressure at the political tables because this is an issue that affects all jurisdictions that administer programs for Indian and Inuit people, which is almost every jurisdiction in the country. So we are having some small success, but it still remains a program that is problematic. Thank you.
