Thank you, Minister Miltenberger. Next on my list is Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. To the motion, Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The children are our future, and by dealing with their oral issues now and getting their teeth healthy and their gums healthy and their mouths healthy, we’re actually going to save ourselves a lot of money down the road. When they get older and they have poor oral health, they’ll be sick people. Obviously, I want her to continue.

I’m curious. I’ve seen the photos. Has the Minister seen the photos of these young children with their mouths full of sores and wounds that pus out where their teeth used to be? Has she shared that with her Cabinet colleagues? I think that if...

Next is Transportation, Activity Summary, Marine, Infrastructure Investment Summary, Total Infrastructure Investment Summary: $645,000. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Minister Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. To the motion, Mr. Ramsay.

That sounds like a definite maybe.

In moving forward, I’d like to encourage the Minister to actually contact the local dentists and work with the local dentists as well as the individuals that the department has worked with previously in Hay River to find a solution. I think it would be easy, at a minimum, to do the one day every eight weeks as well as any drop time. Will the Minister commit to communicating and talking with the local dentists on this issue?

We’re going to defer pages 7-7 and 7-8. By extension, we will also be deferring page 7-2. Shall we move on to the next department, committee?

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Minister Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. To the motion, Mr. Beaulieu.
