Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Health and Social Services, the Honourable Sandy Lee. Mr. Speaker, I would like to follow up on my question that I was trying to ask last week, which was in regards to medical travel. Mr. Speaker, the issue at hand is, quite simply, this: in many cases, it is actually cheaper to rent a car than it is to be reimbursed for taxi fares in that particular case. Recognizing that sometimes that type of flexibility helps the patient, but it also helps the bottom line of the territorial government, because it is considered relatively reasonable and these rates are relatively well established.

Mr. Speaker, my question to the Minister of Health and Social Services is: would she be willing to amend the Medical Travel Policy that recognizes the ability to rent a car as a particular option rather than just having to seek reimbursement through taxi fares? Thank you.
