Right. That's definitely an issue we'll have to address. Certainly, it's been addressed in every other medical profession. Many other disciplines in medicine require practising on patients as part of the internship process.
To clear up a couple of inaccuracies, I'm going to read you a quote from the Canadian Dental Association. They confirmed at this morning's meeting that they've been extensively consulted on the CDCP. They said, “Over the past two years, CDA has been representing patients and the dental profession in conversations with Health Canada. CDA and the Provincial and Territorial Dental Associations (PTDAs) provided information on what is needed to ensure optimal oral health care for all Canadians.”
Were you aware of that?
