Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Last week, I spoke of -- well, talking about medical travel. I looked at the -- and it looks like there's a significant drop in the main estimates from 2022-2023 to 2024-2025. That's a huge number that it dropped. And I brought up a constituent concern last week about that individual that was in Edmonton, could not be brought back to the North because an incident happened in Edmonton. And this individual had paid taxes all his life in the North. He needed assistance to come home. And I mentioned that his health was taking a toll for the worst. Well, I regret to inform this House this individual passed away Saturday morning. So it's pretty hard for me to be here right now to talk about this. So I need to ask the Minister -- I did make a point last week to say can the Minister do a one-time coverage for travel back home for anybody that gets hurt out of the NWT? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Consider a one-time coverage for travel back North for anybody that gets hurt outside of the territory? That's what I want to say. Thank you.
