How we move forward is a rather challenging and broad question, and I'm sure there's lots of wisdom around the room.
Health research is what I'm talking to you about today. To be honest with you, I want to emphasize that it's a key component of moving forward in that manner. In fact, it is a key component in addressing some of the issues I've heard brought here to the table, issues such as poverty and so on. If you look at CIHR, CIHR has a research strategy that is much broader than what you may think of in terms of the traditional biomedical strategy. There is research in other pillars.
I would argue that from the research point of view, we've built the infrastructure, as I've indicated, and we have the researchers, but unless we provide the operating grants, we won't be able to deliver; we won't be able to deliver across the board. I realize it's not an easy one- to two-year vision, but unless we do that research now, that's what will impact us 10 and 20 years down the road for the health of the country. I would urge you to see it in that manner.
