Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. Mr. Speaker, a number of my constituents have told me that when they have been referred to Edmonton for medical service, they had to pay not only the $250 deductible for travel each way, but were stuck paying for hotels and meals as well. Mr. Speaker, I know some other constituents have been able to access a place to stay and weren't charged for it. Could the Minister advise us why some people have accommodation and meals provided when referred out of the NWT and others don't?
