I think, Madam Chair, because this -- this is automatically given to the -- the reimbursement amounts are given for the noninsured health benefits. It's a major problem with the people that it serves. It's always been a problem, you know, to -- like, I even with -- with Salt River or it's going to be a problem -- it'll be a problem even when the Metis enter the program. And I think that's why there has been this -- this kind of roll out period for the Metis, but it -- you know, I just don't want to -- I don't want to be in a situation where it's even -- that people are not getting the care that they should be getting under this program because a lot of the programs and some of the drugs that are in this are not covered, okay, and it's -- it is a major program -- it's a major problem. And you know, we're talking about the majority of the people in the Northwest Territories so that -- that of Indigenous descent. So it is a concern that I -- that I bring here. Thank you, Madam Chair.
