Thank you very much.

Thanks again for being here.

I want to go back to where I was before, because I didn't quite follow the answer. It was a double question on aboriginal and Inuit funding, from pages 163 and 164.

I don't really understand why service delivery is improved if you reduce the number of categories. It seems to me that you can provide the information to us without necessarily affecting service delivery. Perhaps more fundamentally, it seems that the expenditures are growing less rapidly than the population—or at least according to the Assembly of First Nations.

Those are the two issues that I didn't quite follow the answers to from the minister.
