Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So having access, then, to the health care plan lists, of course there's the aspect of security in there and the protection of people's actual health care records. To what extent, Mr. Chairman, is that information protected from any outside source, of course, including the courts? What are the provisions for security and protection of privacy for those lists, Mr. Chairman?

Mr. Chairman, it's protected under our privacy legislation. The Department of Health won't be sharing that with us for this purpose. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Under the health care plan, is that list updated...You said it's updated more frequently than the elections one, which is probably every four years or so. I know under the health care plan it's for insured persons under the NWT health care. What about the non-insured health care beneficiaries? Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, it's a good question; I'm not sure. Obviously, as I've indicated, the Department of Health was involved in the development of this with us. They've been consulting with Justice, so how the health care planning information works and how it's categorized is not something I have at my fingertips. But perhaps the Minister of Health might want to provide some information in that regard. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister Roland. I think the question was in regard to the non-insured health benefits. Just for Mr. Roland, I'll go back to Mr. Villeneuve. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I know under the current list that's been introduced, it's for the persons under the health care plan that are insured. I'm just wondering what about the people under the non-insured health care benefits plan. Are they included in this list when it's submitted or when it's requested? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, all people who receive health care services in the Northwest Territories fall under the registries portion. So individuals who receive non-insured health benefits, it's a part of the program we deliver for aboriginal peoples but they still are registered under our health care system. Thank you.

Thank you. I'll save the next question for when we get into the detail, because we have in quotes here "insured persons" under the Medical Care Act. So all the insured persons under the Medical Care Act include the non-insured beneficiaries? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the way our program works is all individuals are required to register for health care services in the Northwest Territories. Those who receive non-insured health benefits receive over and above what other residents do receive. It's a staged program. So all people would be registered in the Northwest Territories and would end up falling under this category. I can get further detail to the Member if that's required. Thank you.
