Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this is an area of growth that is causing us some concern. What we think is occurring is that the Metis Health Benefits Program, is supposed to be a program of last resort. What we are assuming, as we are trying to sort through this, is in fact many people are eligible under Metis health benefits or going first to the Metis health benefits and they are accessing the program and we are only catching up after the fact. This occurred mainly once the benefits were raised from 80 percent to 100 percent in non-insured health benefits. Thank you.
