I’m hearing that we believe, but accounting is about accuracy of dollars and cents. Does the department have and do they table this information? Is it readily available for committee to review? Thank you.

Mr. Chair, we have no indication that we haven’t collected all of our dollars, recognizing that the inter-jurisdictional reciprocal agreements are negotiated every year, but we do collect all the dollars based on what we are able to charge based on the agreements we have in place.

I believe that’s not the answer to the question. The question still stands. Will the Minister and department share this financial information with committee? Thank you.

The Member can correct me if I’ve misunderstood him. If the Member is asking us to share our inter-jurisdictional reciprocal billing agreements on how things are charged, no problem.

Mr. Chair, that’s not the answer to the question. I mean, if the Minister wants to share the terms of reference for the agreements, I’m happy to receive that, but the question still is asking about the aggregate accounting that we receive in terms of patient in-service billing and what we bill out for services. Would the Minister and department provide those numbers for review by committee? Thank you.

Once again the Member can correct me if I’m wrong; it sounds like he’s asking us to provide what we’ve billed and what we’ve received on a historic basis. I’d be happy to do so.

Without sounding like a broken record, I’ll ask again. Will the Minister agree to provide committee the full accounting of what is billed and what is received for the Government of Nunavut when it comes to medical billing? Thank you.

I’ll say it again, that’s pretty much exactly what I just said I was going to provide, what we billed and what we received. No problem. We’ll provide that.

I appreciate the Minister committing to that. If I can get that for the last three fiscal years. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I just have another question that arose on this page, listening to Mr. Dolynny’s back and forth. Where is the revenue from NIHB recorded on this page? Thank you.

It’s not revenue, Mr. Chair. It’s on page 8-37 because it’s a third-party funding agreement.

Page 8-37 shows $11 million going out. I presume we get money from the feds. Where is that recorded? Thank you.

So we are spending $11 million-something-or-other, $11.9 million over what the federal government funds us for. Is that correct?

Ms. Bisaro, you’re talking about a different page. I’m just wondering if I can keep the detail and questions to the revenue page that we’re on. Ms. Bisaro.

I can save them for later, Mr. Chair, but I’m trying to find the revenue and apparently there is none.
