I would, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, over the years a number of MLAs have raised issues about what's covered in the formulary and what's not covered in the formulary, and we'd always hoped that we might have an opportunity to influence that. What's becoming particularly clear, as the deputy alluded to, is that we're not going to be able to have too much influence over what is in the formulary.

Having said that, they change the formulary all the time and they don’t tell us necessarily what they've done or what they're changing. So apparently in December as I was writing letters to MLAs and others saying, you know, progressive lenses aren't covered, the federal government was in the process of changing their formulary to cover progressive lenses, which we were only notified that that is now covered in the NIHB formulary in late January. So I've asked the department to draft up a letter to the MLAs letting them know that progressive lenses are now covered and will be covered, and I've asked the department to also draft me letters to all the constituents over the last number of months who wrote about progressive lenses, a letter indicating that it looks like progressive lenses are now covered.

So I haven't got that information to the MLAs. This seems like as good a place as any to let you know I have asked the department to draft up letters and those should be coming to you soon, but, hey, progressive lenses are covered. Whoo. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
