Thank you very much, Chairperson.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today, in person and also on the phone.
I do think that looking at the scope of practice for pharmacists is probably one of the best examples of where some really practical things could be done that would improve health care and, as you have pointed out, where pharmacists could become much more part of a community-based team approach.
I really like that you've put out this spreadsheet that shows the different aspects of expanded practice across the country. It's very helpful. Looking at Alberta where everything is ticked off, I think Alberta and Nova Scotia are the best.
How aware is the general public? I'll give you an example. We've been using a lot of our personal experience in scope of practice. In B.C., I did not realize that pharmacists could provide emergency prescription refills or extend or renew. How does that happen? Who activates that? I have prescriptions; most people do. I didn't know that. How is this public knowledge and how does one activate it?
