Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there was a court case initiated in the past that got the federal government to the table and had some basic changes made. Since that time things have once again accumulated and we have, for example with the non-insured health benefits, the lack of recognition on the federal government's part in terms of things like dental days, obsolete rates that they refuse to modernize, reflection of cost-of-living increases, population growth. There's a whole number of fundamental issues that we constantly argue and debate with the federal government about and they're very slow to respond or acknowledge, even though we've had many audits and evaluations in terms of the costs, and are they legitimate. Thank you.
