Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We have provided information quite regularly with the various officials and politicians in Ottawa, including the former Member of Parliament for the Western Arctic. We've met with the national aboriginal organizations. It's an issue not only for us, and we will be bringing this issue forward with Minister Clement from Health Canada, as well as Minister Prentice, when we get an opportunity to meet with him, as well. There are fundamental issues and the federal government will make the case that these non-insured health benefits are not a treaty right, they're just because they're a caring and good government that they provide this, and part of the argument is the conditions and restrictions they place on these programs. Thank you.
