Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes. What I said is that about 60 contribution agreements are in play at this time in terms of whether we are increasing the value of the ones that we already funded or are having a look at where there might be gaps.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Absolutely.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  We are always looking to base our programs on evidence, so we continually do an evidence-based review and amend our programs as necessary. For example, with regard to the item you cited there, when we did the mid-term evaluation in 2006, we heard from former students that elder s

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes. In fact, that is why we ensured that the information on our program is available in many of the community sites, including the nursing stations.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Well, first, let me start by saying that the resolution health support program is available to all eligible former students and their family members by contacting the 800 number in their region.
