Uqaqtittiji, happy new year to everyone. It is my first time speaking since 2024 arrived. I would like to thank the member for his intervention. Thanks to the supply and confidence agreement between the Liberals and the NDP, we have been able to secure a great dental care program for children. I wonder what the member will be saying to his constituents about why he voted against dental care for children in his riding.

Uqaqtittiji, according to Statistics Canada, in 2018, 6.8 million people avoided visiting a dental professional because of the expense. That was three years ago. It has taken the Liberals this long to create this bill. I wonder if the member could describe why at this point they have decided finally to implement this national program.

[Member spoke in Inuktitut] [English] I wanted to start by speaking in Inuktitut because I was quite offended by the member's comment that when she is speaking in French, she might not be heard. She has an interpreter. I was able to understand her because there are interpretation services. I want to ask her about the dental care program in Nunavik for Inuit in northern Quebec. What are the conditions of the dental care program? Would there be improvements from this bill?

Uqaqtittiji, I, too, would like to give my condolences to the member for what has happened in his riding. It is always very sad to hear about these kinds of incidents of violence anywhere. I just wanted to ask a question in relation to what I asked a previous member. There have been a lot of gaps in the dental care and health care system. I really feel that this bill tries to fill some of those gaps. Reaching that 30% is so important. I wonder if the member could elaborate on where he is getting his data to explain how that 30% of the population is meeting its dental care needs.
