Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The people who are making this request appreciate that. Every time an elder leaves the community, they would hope that the department would take care of them and the department does a good job of taking care of them. Sometimes they have to fight to get an escort on that plane because a doctor says that elder understands English or he can talk English. We have our fights sometimes in the communities. Sometimes the nurses are really good and the doctors and they allow them to come on. I get these calls in my community, in my region and so I would like to

say hopefully with the seniors and elders it should be automatic that they should have an escort by the community members. Some may comprehend English quite well out of respect or whatever, but they have a hard time understanding some English. I guess that's one issue.

The other issue is the Minister has stated very clearly that this is all part of working with the escorts. That's fine. I am not too sure what type of dollars you are looking at, but I am saying that's a request. It's another passionate plea on behalf of my people. I know the constraints within this budget, but that is something they are looking at. Then we get into a fight. Well, they don't want to come because they are going to miss work. They pulled me out of this house here. I missed work for three or four days and no pay. It's a tough issue in our small communities. These things make things sometimes difficult in our region. So I am going to ask the Minister, I know it will probably take more time but that's what I wanted to bring up on behalf of my region on this issue here. Thank you.
