I’m kidding about 1921 there, but that was the issue in regard to the whole area in regard to the supplementary health funding and everybody questioning the Metis Health Benefits Program. The program is pretty specific in regard to the criteria that we use for people to basically access that program in which there are certain types of criteria and one of them is that you had to show that you were part of the 1921 group in regard to your membership. Again, the Metis locals still have a role to play in the Northwest Territories especially when it comes to Metis health benefits and also in regard to different programs. Again, they will be involved in the land claims and self-government processes going forward so I’d just like to know if that criteria is still being used in regard to how that establishment of those organizations will be under the Societies Act that they will have to have some sort of a membership criteria or basically an enacted date such as 1921.
