Mr. Chairman, the first question, yes, the denturist would have to register with the registrar at Safety and Public Services and they would have to hold a licence issued by a province to engage in the business of complete denture construction and (b), they would have to satisfy the Commissioner that he or she is in good standing.

Secondly, with regard to travel for the denturist, I believe the Minister of Health committed to the Standing Committee on Legislation that she would pursue the federal government in that regard and on January 19, 1995, the federal government

responded that costs associated with travel, accomodation, meals, and freight would be covered for denturists when services are provided on a fee-for-service basis, in accordance with the non-insured health benefits schedule of dental services. The federal government is prepared to assist denturists to move around in the Northwest Territories.

The third question which really deals with can the denturist travel individually to a community; there's nothing that precludes that from happening, Mr. Chairman. I should point out to you though that there is a requirement by the health boards that there be some contractual wording between them and contractors who work in their buildings so that's one of the issues thet has yet to be worked out. However, the department is aware of the wrinkle and we'll try and get around thet thing, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
