Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, our unemployment rate is pretty high in the Northwest Territories and people do travel quite a bit, both by road and by airlines. Unfortunately, we do get hurt sometimes. I think it should be incumbent on this government to cover the cost of Northerners, people who are paying taxes in the Northwest Territories. Knowing that we are travelling to Edmonton and we use the facilities quite often, I would like to see if the Minister would expand the policy to include Alberta, and possibly B.C. and the Yukon, where our people travel quite often, so that it is covered.
