[Inuktitut text interpreted as follows:]
Thank you.
First of all, I wish to thank you three for coming to give us this presentation.
I know that when it comes to first nations, Métis and Inuit, you may be limited with some of the Inuit and other aboriginal groups. The one I can relate to is Dr. Makokis. As you are in direct [Inaudible—Editor] and you are a care provider, I admire that very much.
I wish to ask you this now, Dr. Makokis. In what ways do shortfalls in NIHB funding for both traditional indigenous medical systems and western clinical services impact indigenous people?
