The Act and Regulations mandate that the Corporation’s contribution for dental treatment is limited to the amounts in the Costs Schedule and, where an implant is given, the payable amount is the Schedule equivalent (here a seven-unit bridge at $2,677.50), therefore the respondent had no power to pay more than the approved total of $3,004.70 and the appeal must be dismissed.

The appeal is dismissed because the Act and governing regulations unambiguously limit transport contributions to the specified public transport fare or statutory per-kilometre rate and define emergency transport narrowly, and home help entitlement is governed by the points schedule which precludes payment once points fall below the regulatory threshold; the review officer's determinations conformed to these legal rules.

The Dental Regulations establish strict maximum payable amounts for listed dental services and, under their plain wording, the respondent is not liable to pay costs in excess of those scheduled amounts; therefore the respondent's decision to limit payment to the schedule was lawful and the appeal is dismissed.
