You don't take the view that it must be delivered through a public delivery. You're prepared to look at different models and experiment, or consider those, and then we have the evidence down the road.

Maureen O'Neil

It also depends on what you mean by private. If you look at global evidence, there isn't evidence anywhere that suggests that a massive private delivery is going to offer equitable, high-quality health care.

The Chair Conservative Joy Smith

Thank you very much, Ms. O'Neil.

Our time is up now. I want to thank our witnesses very much for coming to give us this very important and insightful information. I have a whole page of new ideas.

We now have to go into committee business, so I ask that the room be cleared.

Thank you so much.
