I’m not sure if it’s correct to say that we’re subsidizing this care, because every province and territory is responsible for the delivery of health care to their residents. So whether we get any money from the federal government or not, we would be providing health care to every resident, and doctor care to every resident in the Territories. In the case of aboriginal peoples in the Territories, we get money from the federal government. The federal government’s position is that they are funding for the health care for aboriginal people by this agreement plus the transfer payments that they make to us.
