Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We're hoping that our medevac air carrier standards, the revised medical and non-medical escort policies, will continue to work for us. We're hoping, as I said yesterday, to get involved in central dispatching for medevacs. Mr. Chairman, we're not utilizing those airplanes as well as we should. Just last week we had a plane go all the way from Inuvik to Edmonton. In this instance, it probably was the wrong kind of plane. Because of the timing when it got there it was so late that the physicians, staff and pilots had to stay overnight and come back the next day. Sometimes there is an opportunity for us to back-haul patients from down south. That includes Montreal when we are serving Baffin or Winnipeg when we are talking about Keewatin. We are not using that back-haul, so we are hoping that we can get some greater efficiencies there and cut the costs that way.

We are looking at the strengthening of regional accountability for travel. We are going to continue to refine the nearest centre policy and expand advanced scheduling of medical travel. On the area of advance scheduling, if we are dealing with one particular referral centre in Edmonton, particularly for the larger population, which is in the western Arctic and Kitikmeot, then we can do better scheduling of medical travel and hence get some savings in that regard as well. All of those things we hope will contribute to reducing this particular activity. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
