Thank you, Mr. Chair
Mrs. Worsfold, witnesses before our committee in recent days have talked about the fact that 20% of the cost of health care is directly relative to people who live in poverty and the results of poverty. In my own community of Hamilton, the social planning and research council says one in five people live in poverty.
Now, my wife was a nurse for 37 years. She did get to retire, by the way; I get to go to work here.
