Certainly I would agree. Electronic medical records are absolutely imperative to realizing the real value of our health care system. We have countless Canadians who are injured and I might say whose lives are lost because we don't effectively manage care electronically. Obviously, there were many reasons for that in the past. But the commitment of all levels of commitment to ensure that we change it, and change it quickly, would go a long way to protect the interest of every Canadian, and in particular our constituents, the 9 million Canadians with diabetes or pre-diabetes.
