Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I have stated in my Member's statement, on average, people in Hay River receive their eye examinations once a year from an ophthalmic technician. I have already illustrated some common complaints that I have received from people in Hay River who have been examined by ophthalmic technicians who perform their eye examinations.
Would the Minister please indicate to this House what level of education is required for entry into the Ophthalmic Medical Technology Training Program? Thank you.
