[Inuktitut text interpreted as follows:]

Thank you.

I want to thank Angela and the other people for their presentations. These are very informative and very important issues that you've raised. It is clear that the Métis have been treated differently than the Inuit and first nations have.

I have a question for Rudy Malak.

I want to understand this better. When you're a pharmacist, you are well informed—it's your business. How long does it take for you to get paid by the NIHB after you have billed them? What is the waiting time?
