Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yes, I did ask the NTHSSA to -- early when we -- you know, with the pressures that we were hearing of hotel rooms being full all the time, you know, that is impacting insured service patients that are flying down for doctors appointments because dental and everybody is flying into the capital, I did ask them to look at other options. That is currently being looked in right now. But clients who are NIHB can also work with NIHB directly if they can find appointments closer to home that's not here. And like I mentioned, in the Beaufort Delta a lot of our families travel to and from the Yukon. And those questions would be best directed to NIHB to see what they would be eligible if they were to drive and see a dentist and drive back, you know, so those -- those are out of the hands -- like, those are things that we don't -- we don't pay for. So -- but I have asked the department to see if there's a way that we could help and assist some work around. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
