Province Boosting Travel Grant

Northern Ontario residents who must travel more than 100 kilometres for
medical treatment are getting some financial help.
Premier Dalton McGuinty said yesterday that effective immediately
the province is increasing the mileage rate from 34.25 cents to 41
cents per kilometre, less a 100-kilometre deductible.
The government will also add an overnight accommodation allowance of up
to 100-dollars for each medically necessary trip, starting next January.
McGuinty called it `fair compensation’ for northern residents.
