In dentistry we have the Canadian Dental Association that speaks for the over 18,000 dentists throughout the country. In the province of Quebec, there is a Quebec dental association that deals with Quebec-specific issues. It relates to the government in Quebec. And there's also the regulatory body, the order, in Quebec that regulates the dental profession within the province. But we at the Canadian Dental Association have individual voluntary members who join our association from the province of Quebec, and we speak for them on issues of national importance and here on issues with the federal government.
