First of all, it's important to recognize that there's a different relationship involving the federal government and the provinces and reserves in the south and in the north, where you do not have reserves or you only have a small number of reserves. You have self-governing first nations, you have land claim organizations that have signed, and you have the territorial funding formula that funds most of the social programs for the territories. There are some small elements that we are still responsible for, which contribute to social development.
For example, on an annual basis, we do have an agreement with both NWT and Nunavut on a funding position in health services. So it's a supplement to the money they receive in transfers to recognize the fact that their population is in majority aboriginal. That's an example.
We run the food mail program, which subsidizes with nutritious foods that are shipped to the north. This applies not only in the three territories but also in northern parts of the provinces, Nunavik, northern Ontario, etc.
The other example under the northern strategy would be the housing investments that have been made—the minister spoke to those earlier—first under the trust with the territories and now through CMHC, under the recent economic action plan.
Those are some examples. There are other ways that we also contribute to social development. In the north, the primary role is with the territorial governments.
