Thank you for that question.
As you know, improving the health of aboriginal people is a shared undertaking among all levels of government and aboriginal partners. The federal government is working with its partners to provide effective, sustainable, and culturally appropriate health programs and services.
As highlighted in budget 2013, we invest more than $2.4 billion annually for first nation and Inuit health, including primary health care on reserves as well as the non-insured health benefit program. We're also proposing an investment of $48 million to support the uptake of innovative technologies, such as electronic health services, within the remote and isolated first nation communities. Finally—and I spoke to this earlier on Dr. Carrie's question—budget 2013 also includes a proposed $4 million in investment over two years to increase the number of mental health wellness teams and specialized services available in first nation communities.
