Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, right now, the dentists themselves are the direct service providers. I will undertake to communicate with the Northwest Territories and Nunavut Dental Associations and see if there is a role that our government could play as an administrator/overseer of these program dollars that might make it easier for them. Certainly if the dentists are not being compensated on par with their other colleagues, it can make it very difficult for us to recruit and retain dentists to continue working in private practice in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
