Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for Minister of Health and Social Services. My questions pertain to the Dental Profession Act. There are some phrases in this act which preclude Canadian dentists from recruiting students from universities outside of Canada for doing practicums, which would help in the provision of services, particularly here in the Northwest Territories. I’m going to ask the Minister about section 24(1) of this act that refers to “will provide dental services under the direct supervision of a licensee who is also employed by the Faculty of Dentistry of a Canadian University.” There are other accredited universities which are not Canadian, and I’d like to ask the Minister: how will we go about making this small but important change to the Dental Profession Act?
