Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister of Health and Social Services a question about the ability of community members to travel as an escort with their elders. I know it was previously raised, but the issue that has been raised to me in my smaller communities is it’s often the same persons that are making these medical escort trips. I know when they come to Yellowknife, it’s often overnight, maybe three days at the most, but even though there is food and lodging provided, the people who are helping out the elders often come here with little or no money at all. I would just like to ask the Minister, does she have a plan to address this or is she going to address this issue? I know it’s been raised many times. Thank you.
