Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to all of the witnesses for being here today and for all of their testimony.
I have three questions for three witnesses. I just ask that your answers be as brief as possible.
First, Dr. Tomkins, you stressed the importance of oral health for children, and its being the most preventable and most prevalent health concern for children in Canada, as well as the leading cause for missing school. In your work and experience, do kids in lower-income Canadian households typically have access to the same oral health care as their middle-class and wealthier neighbours do?
