I would like you expound on your fifth recommendation. You talked about developing a national academic public health strategy to meet the regional needs of the Canadian public health system.
First of all, such a recommendation should not be submitted to a federal government finance committee, because universities, public health and regional needs are areas of provincial jurisdiction. I fail to see how a national strategy can solve regional problems. It seems to me that it would be better to establish regional strategies to solve regional problems, and that those who are in the best position to do so should be the governments of Quebec and of the other provinces.
