Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I have question for the Minister of Health and Social Services. Earlier this year, the Inuvik Regional Health Board put out advertisements looking for a company or someone to provide orthodontic services to the Inuvik region. I understand that the health board has completed the task of doing the tendering, reviewing, choosing a contract and they've prepared the necessary equipment lists and are getting quotas on these lists. Apparently, they are now waiting for formal approval from the department to proceed. Each day that we wait, it costs us more money because there are between 45 and 60 people involved each month who are transported out for orthodontic services. So I would like to ask the Minister what the status is of this issue so that orthodontic services can be provided by the Inuvik Regional Health Board.
