Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to ask a question about medical travel and how it relates to supplemental health. I have had a couple of concerns with constituents calling me who had to go south for testing for things like MRIs and other tests. The Department of Health covers the cost of the testing, but not the cost to these folks for all of their travel. They are required to pay a $250 co-payment, I think it is called, also accommodation, meals, ground transportation. Sometimes people are able to stay at Larga boarding homes in Edmonton, but this is only the case if there is room.

These are people who are not covered by NIHB or the Metis health benefit, and typically do not work for a company big enough to have its own insurance plan, quite often people working for small businesses. I wonder if the Minister can talk about how these people seem to slip through the cracks and specifically wonder if she has looked at getting rid of the $250 co-payment for travel? Thank you.
