One of the questions related to registered healthcare professionals, such as physiotherapists and so on. One of the concerns some members of the committee would have is that many of those who are engaged in healthcare professions might not necessarily be registered. We had people who were dealing with feet, for instance. There is no regulation there. There is no regulation in respect of many of those key elements. I think chiropractors are among those not registered. Anyone can establish themselves as chiropractor. There are others, such as hypnotherapists. There are all these professions out there but there is no actual regulation on them. I would have thought that would be a concern, but it did not come up in the survey.
