Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you, ladies, for being here today.
I have questions for all of you but I'm not going to get to them all. I'm going to start with Ms. Nelson, particularly because for three years I was on the board. I was a public appointment to the College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario and sat as the vice-president for the dental hygienists college. I knew nothing about the profession before I went there, but it was certainly enlightening. I was part of the advocacy that brought in the legislation in Ontario to allow self-initiation. So I am intimately conversant with the issue.
I was a strong advocate to see business courses in there. I'm a business person, so I know the need for all of that to happen within the curriculum. Can you give us any idea of how many of the dental hygienists who now have the opportunity to self-initiate have gone into business for themselves? Can you give us any idea of what the percentages are?
