Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, medical travel is one of our growth areas that we have difficulty dealing with. In fact, I think you would find human resources on behalf of government employees is finding that a difficult area to deal with. What we do have in place again, compared to other jurisdictions, is one of the best that is in place. Also our policy is for seniors 65 and over, a medical escort is looked at. It's not a matter of English or if they are able to move and so on, that's one of our policies. At 65, it's not a question then of the condition you are in when you are flown. Anything younger than that, we feel at that point comprehension of English and that should be fairly straightforward. If you feel there are concerns, it should be addressed case by case with the doctor that's dealing with the patient. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
