Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think it makes a difference if the constituent has relocated on a temporary basis for medical treatment and requires just transportation to and from the hospital for that treatment, as opposed to someone who has relocated here and who lives here. Obviously, we do not provide that kind of service for residents of Yellowknife. I am not certain whether Mr. Lafferty's constituent has relocated to Yellowknife permanently or is just here on a temporary basis. Certainly for constituents who are taking advantage of the Vital Abel Boarding Home, they do receive ground transportation to and from the hospital for treatment. If alternate temporary accommodation is sought while receiving treatment, it would certainly be something that I would consider would be the cost to and from the hospital. Thank you.
