Thank you, Madam Chair. That's one of the approaches that we could consider. The Member has also asked, in the past, if we would consider giving the program back to the federal government to administer. Both of those are possibilities. I would hope to, with the new government in place, at least make an initial approach to them and see whether or not they would be prepared to recognize the current program doesn't live up to their own, the federal government's definition of an aboriginal person by not putting all aboriginal people in it. I'll certainly make sure that we take that step before we decide whether or not to go to the next step. Thank you, Madam Chair.
