Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Member makes a good point in terms of the good news. As my colleagues keeping pointing out, sometimes you tend to get mired down in the department of pain and suffering and you don't get to look up and see where the successes are and there are some successes. As Mr. Braden indicated, there is the drop in tobacco tax revenue. To me, it's a lost revenue but a good news story. The birth rates of babies are on the way up where they should be. We have an immunization program that has been very successful that we have been adding to across the Territories. The Member is right; we should probably make a better effort. We've had singular success in the tobacco strategy. So I take the Member's point and it's a good one.
With regard to the fairness and transparency with seniors, the Member has raised this issue and it's a legitimate one. My own sense of this is that seniors should all be entitled to the same benefit, but if there is a client eligible under NIHB, then all the federal government would pay for is what is covered under NIHB and the rest of the cost would be ours. That's how I would see it work to be fair. In our review of supplementary health programs, we are going to be looking at that. I can also point out that the Member is correct; we have one of the most comprehensive benefit packages for seniors in the country. Thank you.
