Great.
There have been no cuts to CIHR. In fact, there are increases. I'll leave it to Michel Perron in the second hour to elaborate on all of those.
To aboriginal health there have been no cuts whatsoever. Anything in the estimates that shows a decrease is because those we're sunsetting. We've approved and renewed those, so you'll see them come back. There are no cuts to aboriginal health.
There are no cuts to CFIA. In fact, there was $400 million extra in the budget last year. I'll let Bruce explain to you the specifics around that.
In terms of aboriginal health, I want to say how committed our government is to the $2.5 billion we invest every single year and the 24-7 access to essential nursing services we have in 80 communities.
Let's remember, no matter where you are, if you're an aboriginal Canadian we will provide emergency evacuation for something as simple as a regular appointment, no matter where someone is. If they live in an area where there are no roads, we will provide emergency evacuation transportation to get people to a hospital, to a doctor, to wherever they need to make sure they have access to care. We spend over $200 million a year just on evacuation and transportation for medical purposes for aboriginal Canadians.
Of course, we have coverage, whether it's medical transport, dental care, or prescription drugs. We provide a very comprehensive care for aboriginal Canadians on first nations when it comes to health care. We've now increased our support for aboriginal health by 31% since 2006. We will continue to work with all of our aboriginal partners in the now 734 health facilities across Canada that are on aboriginal first nations that we support.
