Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we do have community health workers in the health cabins, and they have some minimal training to be able to do the minimal assessment - temperature, blood pressure, and then they will consult with -- and I believe Kakisa is through Fort Providence. And so if there is -- and if they believe that they get approval and they need to travel or they either wait until the nurse travels to Kakisa, and if they need to travel sooner than if they get approval, then if they have to drive they can claim their kilometers or, you know, like, through that process. I can get more detail -- and I think I've asked -- I think -- that's the thing is, I've asked there to be more of a clear process from the department to be able to work with NTHSSA on that process so that way we can have -- so, you know, when people are coming to MLAs or when they look for that information, that it's clearly -- the process is clear, because one time -- when people travel on their own, then -- without being approved to travel, then they don't get their travel approved, like, through medical travel. So -- and that does come up sometimes when -- especially from people from the small communities around Yellowknife and they come and they make their way here without any approval from the health centres, and then they want to stay at the boarding home and then it's not allowed because that's a medical travel boarding home. So there is -- so we need to clarify. And I have that on -- to be done.
