Madam Speaker, as I indicated, in one instance of a regional proposal, we've asked them to resubmit the proposal for some modifications. These discussions take place so that the services can be provided. In the meantime, the program delivery continues. I believe we always have to make sure that when we change the services, the services are going to be the types of services that people have become accustomed to, by referring to southern agencies. So it's just a matter of working them out, Madam Speaker.
I believe that these submissions are not years and years old. The regional centres have been asked to entertain how they can provide this service themselves. As we all know, orthodontists are hard to come by, and in the proposal that we had asked to be resubmitted was a proposal so that the orthodontist didn't really...It was the same type of service that we had provided before but it was regional. The referrals were still going to be somewhere else and the orthodontist was still going to be somewhere else. There is some question as to the total cost.
So we're not dismissing it. We feel that there can be some cost-savings, and we'll keep working at it and try to get to a resolution on these matters. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
