Yes, thank you, Madam Chair. And thank you for the question. So the following areas are being reviewed right now. Medical travel, escort criteria, and that's one where I get a lot of questions. The exceptions policy which is where the policy can be varied to include people who don't fit into the other criteria. We are reviewing the per diem rates for people who aren't staying at the boarding facility. So right now the accommodation per diem is $50, which is obviously not adequate for a hotel. We also want to establish a long-term medical travel policy. This is for people, for example, who are receiving cancer treatment or rheumatology services or anything else which occurs regularly. There are a couple of other ones as well. Establishing an air ambulance policy for emergency medical transportation and establishing a formal nearest centre policy, which right now is not written down.

So I understand what the Member is saying. There is really a two tier system. There are the GNWT and the Government of Canada benefits, which are more generous than the NIHB benefits. That is a fact. At this point, we subsidize NIHB to the tune of $17 million a year for medical travel and we want to bring that situation to an end. It's money that we can't afford to spend, and it is money that should be spent by the federal government. So there are negotiations ongoing now because that agreement ends at the end of this month. And we partnered with Nunavut to negotiate with the federal government to pay the real cost of medical travel so that we no longer subsidize it. Thank you.
