Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I can appreciate the Member's concern and frustration because it is an issue that, as I have indicated, gets a lot of traffic with MLAs through the Minister of Health's office. The circumstance is as the Member said, it provokes a response and it's not always as cut and dried as it would seem, that's why we end up with these calls that something hasn't worked. What I will commit to the Member to do is we will layout what we are doing, what we are going to do to improve the service. As well, we will come back with our assessment, a specific written assessment on what we think is the validity and the aptitude of using a 1-800 number. Does it make sense? We'll give the Member and this House and the Social Programs committee our best advice. If there is a way to do that, we will give it a serious look. If not, we will be looking at other ways to try to give people some way to get basic information, as the Member indicated, about flights being reserved and confirming travel arrangements. Thank you.
