Thank you, Madam Chairperson. The Minister of FMBS, Mr. Roland, is correct that we have provided assistance in the past. We are currently doing work with operational reviews, because there are a number of boards that are struggling with their finances as well. It is not strictly an issue of poor management.

The Dogrib board was created in 1997 and, as already indicated, one of the biggest drivers of their deficit was the fact that there was never any funding for ambulance services. Rae is the only community that doesn't have an airport or have a way to get people to Stanton. They instituted an ambulance service that has, over time, built up a significant deficit. There have been other areas as well, as the Minister of FMBS has indicated, but we are working with other boards. For example, the Fort Smith board has a small deficit that they are working on, the Inuvik has a somewhat larger deficit that they are working on, as does Hay River. There are issues in all those areas that speak to costs that oftentimes the boards don't control. Thank you.
