Thank you. Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you, Minister, for that clarification. But we got 33 communities in the Northwest Territories, and we don't have a lot of government jobs in our communities. So, you know, I'm -- so it makes it really tough for constituent members in our communities that really need the care and services of the healthcare card that we have. But I just wanted to maybe let the Minister know that if -- I think -- you know, if there's a way we could take a look at the medical travel policy and maybe have a thorough review of this policy so that -- I know it's a tough job that you have. I know that, you know, you got to follow these policies. But sometimes in special circumstances, I mean, you probably use your discretion and that kind of thing, but at the end, you know, we hear all these stories up and down the valley and it's really frustrating, you know. But, again, you have a tough job. You know, but at the same time, if there's a way we could probably maybe even -- you know, work together and try to improve this policy. And, you know, nine times out of ten too it's all about funding. You know, how is this funded. You know, we probably don't even get enough money from Ottawa on this kind of stuff too as well. So, anyway, I just wanted to -- maybe the Minister could maybe just elaborate a little bit maybe about some ideas about how we can improve this medical travel policy. Mahsi.
