Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Minister raises a good point, but you have to look at the failures and successes when you weigh all these things in the programs. If the programs do not work in some of these areas, then you should not support them any longer. Maybe those 30 beds could be used for some other program. I see in the newspaper that Yellowknife is out of apartments and other areas like that. Maybe they could use them for that. Let us put the programs where there are successes.
The other one I want to add to that is to support my colleagues when they talk about medical travel. There was one occasion last week where one of my constituents had to be medevaced to Edmonton on a charter. On that charter, there were some extra seats, but relatives were not allowed to go with him. If we are paying for those seats there, and they want to go one way, I think the department should have been able to allow them to go one way.
Also, when they get over there, I understand that Larga House has condominiums where they only charge one person for the night and it does not matter how many people stay there. They only charge for the one person they keep there. I think maybe we should look at everything on medical travel and maybe even for keeping families there for compassionate reasons. Thank you.
