Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am quite surprised that, given the demand for services that any community would not want an enhanced level of service, no matter what it may involve. What I would say, Mr. Speaker, is I would intervene if I thought that it could be proven to me that there is an impact on the quality of the dental care services that are being provided to constituents in the honourable Member's riding or in any constituents' riding. If I felt that the decision was made and it could be proven to me that it would impact in a negative fashion for the provision of services, then at that point I would intervene. I can say that, Mr. Speaker, as I indicated earlier, I am aware of the concern from some of the communities in the Keewatin. The health board, by the same token, is receiving the copies of the same correspondence and they are also aware of the concern from the communities. They are going to under take, once again, to have consultations with those communities to try to put forward their position and explain where the enhanced levels of service and are hopefully be able to resolve this situation and move on, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
