Mahsi, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, this outstanding $6.6 million has been growing for a number of years, ever since I got elected, even prior to that when I was on a local band council it was I guess at that time rising. So the Minister has indicated that the department has met with some clients, but what I would like to see is meet with all clients that owe money because we have to deal with this issue, it's a serious matter. At this time, Mr. Chair, my next question is, has the department earmarked their target for 2007-2008? What I'm trying to get at is, is there a plan to collect a certain percentage for this year and next year from the $6.6 million owing? Because I certainly don't want to see $8 million next year owing. So I would like to see a plan. I'm sure there is a plan, a worked on plan. What's the department's plan on collecting? Mahsi.
