Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If the Member is talking about the $700 million that was just agreed to last September with the aboriginal health fund, if that's not it, there is money in our budget where there are dollars specifically set aside for medical services to Indian and Inuit people. There is also the arrangement we have with non-insured health benefits. As well, we currently have a funding arrangement with them for home care and there is wellness dollars as well, which is fairly significant. Some of it comes to us and some goes directly to aboriginal governments. Mr. Chairman, I can share this. I have a document here that lays out just the wellness funding alone and I would be happy to share this with the committee. It breaks out the programs and the money that was funded by Health Canada and the northern secretariat and those that are funded by us.
