If that person needs to be accompanied, we will pay for the travel for the person when there is a medical requirement for the person to be accompanied to go to a treatment. For example, we had a client in southern Ontario going to the PTSD program in Nanaimo. It depends on the need. The thing is that the clients don't choose where they go. If there is an adequate provider close to their community, we would pay for travel to go to that provider, but if the client comes from Ontario to Ste. Anne, to the stabilization beds, we would finance the travel for the person who accompanies that client to the facility when there's a medical requirement to be accompanied.
