It cut me off. Where was I? With regard to registering, does one have to have an actual licence from another province first or can they just come directly from a school to get registered here? That's one question that I would like the Minister to answer.

Mr. Chairman, another concern that I have which I don't think has been noted, the Legislation committee is recommending that they've asked the department if they would allow the denturist to accompany a dentist when travelling to communities. I understand that they wanted to make it similar to the eye doctor, with the optical company following them around. I guess that's the analogy I can use. I guess that's what they want to use. However, why can't a denturist travel by himseH? For instance, if there's a denturist here in Yellowknife, why couldn't he travel to Rae Edzo, for instance, by himseH without a dentist accompanying him? Why is there that particular limit?

I understand that the Legislation committee is suggesting that a denturist accompany a dentist when he's doing his regular travel and I understand that the regular dentists do have a contract with us to travel to smaller communities on a regular basis. I understand that and I think that's it's a good idea, but I'm just curious as to why they won't let the denturist travel by himself to communities where he feels he can provide these services? Those were some of the general comments I wanted to make, Mr. Chairman. Mahsi.
