Well, we agree to disagree, because we also use OECD rankings, when Canada does well, to shout from the rooftops how well we're doing; yet when it shows that we're not doing well, there isn't that kind of critical thinking that asks why this is so.
Even if the methodology is in question in this particular instance, why is this so, is there any truth, and what can we do to deal with it? We know that some of those rates are attributed to aboriginal infant mortality rates and we know that poverty and lack of housing are really big issues.
This is a shameful blot on Canada's record, and I would like to hear that the ministry of health and the Public Health Agency are looking at causes and at solutions. Health is more than just research; it's more than just what numbers say. It's about the lives of people in this country. I would like to see some more due diligence done on this.
Thank you.
