Mr. Speaker, the chief public health officer -- you know, the reason why the alert came out was there is -- they were notified of this, and there is a current investigation ongoing right now, an investigation that -- you know, that it wouldn't be -- I would not be able to speak to in the House as it's ongoing. But the reason why the chief public health officer did go out and do an announcement publicly right away was to be able to put the information out there so people could -- they didn't -- you know, they wanted to ensure that -- not everybody is on social media, not everybody -- and because dental clinics are private businesses and NIHB does provide dollars for them to the GNWT, it's going to flow through to pay for the travel for them to go into the communities. They do all their own billing and scheduling, and so to be getting -- like, the list doesn't belong to the health and social services or the department of health or NTHSSA or the clinic. It belongs to the provider themselves. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
