Thank you, Madam Chair. I don't think the Minister answered; maybe he did. Am I to understand that in dealing with health care benefits for foreign nationals, it's done on a case-by-case basis, or is there a written policy or regulation that the Minister could provide us with? More specifically, I would like to know under that policy why is it that we would require...Is there a requirement for someone to have a valid visa for six months to a year or something, before one could be issued health care benefits? I think a lot of us walk around with a visa that would expire in a lot shorter period. I don't understand the requirement for that. If there is one that makes sense, I'm prepared to accept that. So could the Minister provide us with information on what the rule is? Thank you.
