Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know the Member is good, but I don’t know how he got dental care into primary care, but, anyway, I’d be happy to answer him with the information. This dental issue in general comes up everywhere I travel. It is a big issue for our community people, but it’s important for people to know that dental care is not a responsibility of the GNWT. It is not an insured service. It is the federal government that provides dental care to our aboriginal peoples. The non-aboriginal people in the Territories, they get dental coverage by their own insurance. Dental care is not part of health care.
Now, the GNWT does provide support to dental services in our regions. The problem we’ve been having is almost every authority, and that includes Inuvik, have had difficulties getting a contractor to provide dental service in Inuvik and the Member is right that there have been some parents with young children who need orthodontic services and other dental services and they’ve not been able to get them for the last little bit. I’m happy to note that a new contract has been signed and we do have new dental services being provided in Inuvik. So hopefully the lady that he was talking to at Wal-Mart and some other people that have been contacting us will be able to be processed as soon as possible. Thank you.
