Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think that it speaks to the lack of knowledge in central Canada about what goes on. I live in Yellowknife, I have a dental plan, and I still cannot get into a dentist without waiting for months. I know the situation is much more dire in the communities.

I would think that we could look into changing the laws or our legislation. I understand you are relying on the national examination to get the standards, but I would think at a minimum, we should be making a case to the national board and tell them that we have traditionally relied on foreign dentists. The records have shown that the foreign dentists who come to the North stay a lot longer than southern dentists. I understand this presenter that there are no less than 78 dentists registered to practice in the Northwest Territories. I do not believe that there are 78 dentists who live here. There are many dentists registered to practice. They fly up, get paid and go away. We need these dentists to move here and live here and contribute to our society. I guess all I would say is that I would like the Minister to continue to pursue this. I will continue to pursue it as well. Thanks.
