Thank you, Mr. Chair. Okay, so it’s a different… It’s not related to Non-Insured Health Benefits, NIHB.
I know in the past we have been concerned because of transfers, I believe, for these expenses. I believe it’s an annual transfer that we receive and this department is up 8 percent this year and that’s not atypical, and that’s not atypical for hospital and medical care to go up at that rate in the Northwest Territories, yet the federal government only increased their contribution by 2 percent or 2.2 percent per year. This has been, obviously, a bone of contention. That’s a significant additional burden for us every year.
What is the status of that? It sounds like now there’s perhaps a new formula where we get 95 percent of costs of whatever they are and our liabilities are limited to 5 percent. I’d just like to ask if I understand that correctly. Thank you.
