Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to address this question to the Minister responsible for Health and Social Services. This is the preamble. I would like to quote from a transcript of a radio piece this morning on CBC: 'People who want to see a chiropractor have to pay for treatment out of their own pocket. Chiropractors say that prevents some people from seeking treatment. Health Minister Kelvin Ng has been asked by chiropractor David Zondag to start insuring chiropractic services. Ng said information has been sent to him showing money can be saved if more people see chiropractors. Ng says he asked the department to study the issue, but he doubts if anything can be done soon." I would like to ask the Minister if he is aware of the study that was conducted by the Ontario government substantiating savings to the medical health care system through the use of chiropractors. Is he aware of that and has he read it? Thank you.
