Mr. Speaker, I thank the Minister

for having her departmental staff meet with this individual and her family. I was at that meeting this afternoon. That is why I was late arriving to the House today. It was a very productive meeting. I think they understand the situation, but it gets back to my earlier question. There was an indication at the length of time it was taking to get this woman out to Edmonton to have surgery on this brain tumour and it was taking a tremendous amount of time. The Minister knew that. The question I had to the Minister was: Did the Minister intervene in that case to ensure that she would have her operation last week on May 22nd , Mr. Speaker, not three

weeks later? Thank you.
