Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I wonder if I could just continue asking questions to the Minister of Health and Social Services on the same topic that the honourable Member for Hay River South has been pursuing. This is something that's been curious to me, as well. I don't know the long and whole background of this issue, but I do know that we have upwards of $30 million in disbursements or reimbursements from the federal government outstanding that has incurred as a result of this government providing services to aboriginal residents in our territory that they are entitled to. We're falling behind. Thirty million dollars is almost half of our deficit. I'm just wondering, why is it that there has been no progress made in dealing with this outstanding amount with the federal government? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
