Thank you, Mr. Chair. We did a kind of an estimate cost year to date, and it's right now at approximately $17 million and we're not completing the year. The costs are mainly due to increased travel costs due to flight routes, overall increases in accommodations, and per diems due to changing in flight routes, and just increasing cost overall. And also we have an increase in the number of staff in the public service, so that also drives up the increase in the medical travel costs. So at three-quarters of the year, we're around $17 million, so probably projected to the end of the year probably hitting around the $20 million or more, similar to the medical travel of 2023-2024 number. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
