Thank you, Madam Chair. I think one of the side effects of this pandemic is that we took a hard look at what medical travel was necessary. I know there has been work in the past for the department to sometimes avoid appointments in Edmonton where it's simply a pre-surgery consultation that takes an hour, and then that person flies back. I know the department spoke earlier about a couple of great initiatives happening in terms of Telehealth and digital health. I am concerned that I am seeing $2 million here, and I am seeing continued driving costs for medical travel. When can we expect some cost savings due to digital health and perhaps not necessarily always having to have people travel in the medical travel line item? Thank you, Madam Chair.
