Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, a constituent of mine for some time has been travelling to Edmonton on medical travel and their travel expense claims continues to be somewhat similar each time. Out of this process some difficulty has arisen but also a possible solution. What they did was they chose the lower cost option by renting a car from the airport to drive into the city for their appointments and whatnot and, of course, they came back to file their medical travel claim. To rent the car was actually cheaper than it was to do the normal $60 cab ride, $60 back and as well as all those multi cab rides.

So, Mr. Speaker, my question would be focussed to the Minister of Health and Social Services to looking at creating options that may help solve the problem that, A, my constituent has and, B, maybe create simpler options going forward with choice.

Would the Minister be willing to look at creating a process so what people would normally do with meal claims and travel claims is check a box and get a flat rate? Would the Minister be willing to look at a process for medical travel to give people the option if they want the independence to rent a car on their own and use that as their only transportation cost while they are on these normal everyday and very typical travel process and trips to Edmonton? Thank you.
