The Member is right when he says that medical travel is an essential part of delivering health care in the North, and this is why we fought for and got, and we have a federal Minister who understands the importance of medical travel in the North and all across the North. That’s part of our additional funding we got under THSSI. What we need to do on the medical travel is that we use the money wisely so that anybody who needs medical travel gets to their medical care. So part of what we’re doing is using technology to make sure that we have the money available to those who really need to get medical travel -- and often they need medical escorts -- where we can use technology and local staff by supporting them where they are we get the diagnosis at home. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
