It would be hard for me to comment specifically on the cuts announced yesterday, but I think in general we have to continue to support the health care system. We have to continue to support the research that underpins that system.
There's no question that going forward, some of the inefficiencies in health care need to be dealt with. Research is the best way to do that, to really understand what the inefficiencies are. That's why I chose as one of my examples the studies—the very extensive studies—that have documented when you should undertake very expensive procedures on patients and when not. Reducing the amount of access that's required to MRI machines and CT scanners and so on substantially reduces the health care system.
We hear so much about the sustainability of the system. We have to make it sustainable, and a lot of research needs to go into that area—even in such simple things as delivery of health care. In Ontario now we have the local integrated health networks. How you deliver the best health care across the network is a big research topic that we're getting into now.
