Absolutely, you're correct, because the Canadian dental care plan is a fantastic program. The demand is very high. Canadians appreciate it. They're seeing care. We have recent survey results, which we're releasing in a few weeks, that show that demand is higher than ever, and people are actually receiving care.
Dental hygienists can practise in rural or remote communities. They have mobile practices. Forty per cent of our independent hygienists go to practice with a van or a retrofitted ambulance to provide care in those communities where there isn't care. Any cuts to their educational opportunities would have an impact on the future supply of oral health care delivery for Canadians.
