Okay, does the committee agree that we have concluded consideration of Tabled Document 281-17(5), Capital Estimates, 2016-2017?
How much latitude does the person who works in medical travel who issues travel tickets have and are they aware of the discretion they have? In a real life case that I know of, the escort was told, I’m sorry, if you’re travelling home without the patient, you are on your own hook, and at the last minute they needed to get home and had to pay full fare for their ticket and so on. So, are the people who issue the tickets in medical travel aware of the fact that they can approve return flights under those circumstances? Do they have the authority to grant that? Thank you.
