Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the future conversations that the Minister is going to have with Minister Prentice, I'd like to ask the Minister, has he noticed any type of a shift in terms of the Minister's or the department's view, the Department of Indian Affair's view on this program in terms of its changing of the definition that will include Metis people that will be into this program? Or it's just business as usual and that they're going to just advise the Minister on how this program is going to be administered should the GNWT continue to be firm on their commitment not to have this program administered as part of our programs. I just want to know if there's any light or hope that maybe the department would reconsider on this specific definition on aboriginal that must include the Metis people. Thank you.
