Thank you. We will take a little short break for about 15 minutes.

---SHORT RECESS

What is the wish of the committee? Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I indicated in my Member’s statement today, a constituent had a massive heart attack yesterday and was medevaced to Edmonton and the wife was very upset because she couldn’t jump on the charter. My question is to the Minister of Health and Social Services, the Honourable Michael Miltenberger. Just what is the department’s policy for family members to jump on the medevac charters? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

The motion is in order. It’s not debatable. All those in favour? All those opposed? The motion is carried.

Good afternoon. We will reconvene Committee of the Whole. Right now, we are reviewing Committee Report 8-15(4). I would like to ask the deputy chair of AOC to speak to the report.

Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. At this time I was told that the attending physician made that call that she couldn’t jump on the charter when I found out yesterday. Mr. Speaker, given the nature of a patient’s condition, I would like to ask the Minister why wasn’t the wife allowed to jump on the charter because of the patient’s condition? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
