Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There are a lot of things that may happen only once. For instance, gifts that people are given that are considered as income. The exclusions we offer now through the program are those that are provided for as compensation for some purpose like the wrongdoing that happened at residential schools. IBAs are not considered the same way. It's a contractual arrangement. It's not seen by our government as compensation. So on that difference of opinion, that's where we stand between the Member and the government.
