Yes. I'd be -- Mr. Chair, to be fair, the Member's asking a bit more detail than that and to be clear, so with respect to the benefit to employees, it's part of the collective agreement. We're expected to comply with our obligations under the collective agreement. But as I noted, it's a trend that we're seeing in medical travel and health and social services as well. And so, yes, absolutely, there is work underway between the Department of Health and Social Services and Finance to find a path forward on medical travel generally, the types of appointments, where people are going, the repeat appointments, nature of the appointments, the length of the appointments. And given what I have said here about dental services, that is definitely at the top of the list of things that there needs to be a better path forward on. Thank you.
