I totally concur with President Obed. Definitely, we need our people to be recognized. I'll give you an example here. With the funded FNIHB, non-insured health benefits, for mental health counsellors here in Saskatchewan there is a list where you have to declare, you do your services and you submit billing. There's an example we're dealing with right now with a traditional healer who listed herself as a psychotherapist prior but now changed the designation of her position and her practice as a spiritual healer. Now, because she changed the designation of her title, there's an issue with FNIHB or non-insured health benefits not paying her. We're actually dealing with that right now as we speak—our staff at FSIN.
There are issues around that. If she had a Ph.D., or a mental health master's, psychologist, boom, no problem, she'd paid right away, but the minute she changed her designation on the NIHB list of qualified mental health therapists, she was denied billing. It's an issue that has to be addressed. We have to reform this system, members of Parliament. We have to get this right and to make sure that our two systems can exist side by side with mutual respect and not one being higher than the other or recognized as superior. Thank you. Meegwetch.
