b"There was good news recently for some people who have to travel for medical reasons. People who live in all of the Labrador-Grenfell Health Zone can now benefit from a new Flight Voucher Program if they're flying for specialized medical help covered by MCP. Earlier this year, medical travel assistance was expanded for people on the northern tip of the Northern Peninsula. People there can now get the same reimbursement for medical travel as people in Labrador. Lisa Dempster is Minister of Labrador Affairs."
