Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Member is correct; dental services are not covered fully under our health care system. There is a resource issue to be able to do that. There is coverage for third parties, for government employees, for larger organizations that have third-party coverage, as well as for Metis and through non-insured health benefits. We are currently, as well, doing an ongoing review of the supplementary health benefits, trying to look at how we close the gaps in our social safety net and health safety net. There has been one briefing not too far in the distant past with the Social Programs committee. We are continuing to work on that particular review so we can come forward with some suggestions. Thank you.
