Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, a budget of $265 million, do you have to take out this little portion from the aboriginal program? I understand what the Minister is saying, hoping to have a good start, but it's reducing. This is a very important program where over 50 percent, over 60 percent clients are aboriginal people. We need this service; we need this type of program, and he has to do a cut out of a budget of $265 million. I just don't understand it. It just doesn't make sense in terms of the program. So for me it just doesn't show that this government department is supporting this Aboriginal Wellness Program.
