Thank you, Madam Speaker and honourable Members. Madam Speaker, during the last session, I made a statement with regard to the denturist in the Northwest Territories. One of the difficulties that many aboriginal people in the communities are experiencing is with regard to partial dentures. Most of the work that is being referred to is with regard to full dentures. Much of the cost that is incurred for aboriginal or status people is through Blue Cross. One of the difficulties of the individual, Mr. Enzoe, is that even though Mr. Enzoe is doing partial dentures, he is not being paid for it. When you are referred to a denturist, he is a professional in all aspects of dentures, not just full dentures, but partial as well. However, he isn't being paid for partial dentures that he does for aboriginal people. It could be done in a few days, as opposed to a few months. I would like to ask Mr. Pollard if he intends to somehow accommodate Mr. Enzoe so he could be paid for doing partial dentures?
