Mr. Speaker, I will definitely get that to the Minister. The other issue that I was dealing with is the issue of an individual who was diagnosed to get surgery three years ago and still hasn’t gotten it. I’d like to ask the Minister: can you put some urgency on that case and get the individual into the appropriate care that is needed and so they can get the surgery in regard to their dental care? Can the Minister commit to that? Thank you.

Next on the list I have Mr. Menicoche, Ms. Bisaro and Mr. Beaulieu. Mr. Menicoche.

Mr. Bromley. Page 9-10, information item, revenue summary.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health and Social Services. It is in regard to dental care in the Inuvik region and, more importantly, the lack of the orthodontists in the region.

I think it’s critical that we have that service being provided. Like I mentioned in my statement, Mr. Speaker, there are quite a few people who have been calling me and also other Members of this House and, more importantly, the frustration of having to wait three years after being referred for surgery and still hasn’t heard back from the department. I’d like to ask the Minister...

Agreed. Page 10-9, Education, Culture and Employment, information item, revenue summary. Mr. Bromley.

On Page 10-13, Education, Culture and Employment, activity summary, directorate and administration, operations expenditure summary, $10 million. Agreed?

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Are there any more general comments? If not, what’s the wish of committee? Detail. If we can defer you to consideration under detail. Again we’re on page 10 of 7. From there we’ll move forward in regard to department summary. So if I can have you turn to 10-8. Does the committee agree to defer department summary, operations expenditure summary?

Mr. Chair, I move that committee strongly recommends that the Department of Education, Culture and Employment work closely in close cooperation with the Beaufort-Delta Education Council to take all steps necessary to establish a full-time high school teacher position in Tsiigehtchic for the 2010-11 school year. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
