Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think when a patient is going to be going in for major surgery, such as back surgery, which is major, and also when you’re going for cancer treatment where it will require surgery, those type of incidents should be on a priority list where they do get an escort, because there’s no way that these people on their own can travel back to their home community in the condition that they’re in. I’d like to ask the Minister if she could tell me exactly which types of surgery or medical attention is needed to be classified as essential for medical escorts.
