Thank you, Mr. Chair. Right now our policy is that we apply the NIHB formulary to all of our extended health benefits programs, and the rationale behind that policy is that it provides equity so all residents of the NWT who are on a non-insured health benefits program are getting access to the same benefits. I am not the expert, so I'm not going to drill down into details, but generally when we had a review done by Alberta Blue Cross looking at where we might achieve some savings with respect to pharmaceuticals, there are some opportunities for buying lower cost drugs that are not included on the NIHB formulary, are included on the Alberta Blue Cross formulary.

So one of the things we're looking at is whether we want to actually make a policy change. This would then mean that eligible residents would remain on the NIHB formulary as we administer that program, but residents who are enrolled in one of our supplementary health benefits programs might have access to a slightly different suite of pharmaceuticals, medications, and supplies. We can certainly provide some examples in writing, but I don’t have the detailed knowledge to speak to the details today. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
