Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to say thank you to the minister and her team for taking the time to talk to us today about this very interesting and very important issue of NIHB.
One of the main concerns about NIHB that I hear from my constituents and from indigenous governments in Northwest Territories is around escorts for medical travel. It seems very inconsistent. Some people qualify and some don't. Some jurisdictions allow for more medical escorts than others. It's not very clear. This point was echoed by Minister Green from GNWT on her presentation to committee at the last meeting.
My first question is this. Is the Government of Canada able to make the changes needed to make the process for getting an escort for medical travel easier and also clearer?
