Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a couple of questions.
Ms. Nash raised the demographic issue, which is more of an issue now than it was 15 years ago, as an example, with the baby boom generation but also with migration within the country. There are provinces, for instance in the Maritimes, in which we're seeing an aging population with a lot of young people leaving for opportunities elsewhere.
Have there been some discussions and consideration of adjusting the transfer formula to reflect what is more of a trend today, in terms of demographic shift, than it would have been ten years ago, when we had the last negotiation of the health care accord? We were actually negotiating ten years ago the 2004 accord; the process of negotiation had been an ongoing one. Has there been some consideration of it? Is that part of the current discussion with provinces?
