Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There is not a lot of difference from Mr. Ningark's riding and my own about the concerns raised for compassionate travel, as well as the other communities that are remote which have to be serviced by air. I have raised that with the Minister of Health. We talked about it and the bottom line is, what is the priority? The priority of this government is to ensure we have enough dollars to move those people who are sick and need to be medevaced into the health centres and that is where the dollars will be spent. We no longer have dollars to spend on compassionate travel, so we have not revisited that issue. Thank you.
