Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there were some thoughts there on the dental care. I am aware the situation is going from bad to worse ever since the federal government took over control of the delivery of the program, where people who need dental work have to get approval from someone in Ottawa. It can take weeks to months before any work is done. By the time that patient gets back and is looked at, a problem with a tooth can become quite severe. What is the department doing to try to pull this back?

I know there have been ongoing discussions, but has it gone anywhere? Has it moved ahead at all? Is there any recognition that what they have done has created more problems, and they would be looking at bringing the controls back to the North? Thank you.
