Thank you very much for that question.
The issues of health promotion strategies and looking at the social determinants of health are key. The Canadian Medical Association supports these and is very enthusiastic about enhancing the good health of our population. We can do that through direct health care and we can do that as well by looking at the social determinants of health and informing our public about the need for good health. These are all essential strategies.
On the issue of sustainability and the fact that concerns about sustainability have been raised for some time, I think we all recognize that at this time our health care system is at a watershed. People who are waiting in emergency departments, who can't access family doctors, or who have their surgeries cancelled or delayed expect health care to be available to them. I think many in your different jurisdictions recognize that we need to have a meaningful intervention soon that will bring us to a more sustainable health care system.
