Mr. Robert Watt:

I do not think it has been discussed but it is certainly worthy of consideration. We would have to think about how we could make the salaries attractive and make sure that people who had a career in dentistry could choose the public system over the alternatives. There is a shortage of dentists and we need to address that.
