The Medical Travel Program is always overspent. It’s always oversubscribed. So I am not sure if we have the resources to pay people for travelling, but I think it’s reasonable to assume that we should be able to feed these people and make sure they have lodging. I thought that we did, so I will look into that. It may be also a situation of NIHB rates for medical travel which is a federal program and I know that they haven’t increased their rates for many years, but it’s not to do with the GNWT. So I will have to get more details from the Member. Thank you.
