Thank you, Mr. Speaker and I thank the Minister for his answer. Mr. Speaker, it seems to be a very small amount for patients and escorts to buy food or something to drink: $18 for meals does not go very far especially if you're trying to eat healthy and ensure that you follow a strict diet. As well, it's really a challenge if you're on fixed income or you have to take time off your work to escort these people. Mr. Speaker, I'm not sure when this was reviewed last time, I think maybe April 1st, but can the Minister commit to have this department review the amounts provided and look at increasing it to reflect the realities of the cost of living for our residents of the Northwest Territories? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
