That's excellent.

I'll turn to Vice-Chief Pratt, if I could.

I understand there's an ongoing review of the benefits that is being co-led by the AFN. This has resulted in funding from budget 2017 that had coverage for mental health counselling provided by traditional healers.

What has this meant for communities? Are there other areas in health care where solutions like this could be implemented? Mental health is very close to my heart, so I'd love to hear how this is working.
