"The most expensive part of the department – the delivery of health care to Canada's Indigenous people"

Why should indigenous people cost more?  Possibly because so many are living in unsustainable conditions on their reservations (??nations).  Most people from where I come from move to where the opportunities are and receive the same benefits as all other citizens.  The indigenous should not expect the added expenses of living where they are to be picked up by taxpayers -- they already receive far too many benefits.  The government should not give into their blackmail.
