Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question I would like to direct to the Minister of Health. At the present time, anyone needing partial dentures or repairs for dentures must go through a dentist's office in order to have these appliances sent out to a dental lab, either for reconstruction or else repair, Mr. Speaker. At the present time, we have a lab that has established itself in Yellowknife, but anyone needing work must still go through a dentist's office. They cannot go directly to this lab to have the work done, even if they want to pay for it on their own, Mr. Speaker. In some cases, on an emergency basis they find themselves in need. They can't go there on their own and have this work done because the Department of Health will not allow it as there is nothing in the act, as I said earlier on, which allows it. This matter has been discussed between all the parties and it is a badly-needed service. Can the Minister advise me on the status of this conflict?
