Thank you, Chair.
I happen to think it's a huge advantage to be on this committee and not be an accountant or an economist.
My first question is to the Federation of Medical Women of Canada. You recommend that the concept of gender as a determinant of health be embedded in all policies of Health Canada. As I understand it, prostate cancer takes the lives of roughly the number of women that breast cancer claims on an annual basis--I think that's correct, that it's a rough equivalent in terms of death per thousand--yet the research dollars that apply to breast cancer are something in the order of 300% greater than the moneys that would apply to prostate cancer. Would your concept address that inequity between men and women?
