Thank you, Chair.
I just want to echo those words as well. I think everybody around this table is extremely pleased and gives much credit to Mr. Blaikie and Mr. Stewart for the work that they've done. I know that in my previous life it was always an issue. We have about a thousand Islanders that have type 1 diabetes. I have two representatives, one in my riding who works for Diabetes Canada and another young man, Brooks Roche, who actually has type 1 diabetes and has been a strong advocate on Prince Edward Island.
I think we're all in this business to do better. I think we find a way to ensure that this amendment passes and we move forward. We know that there have been some relevant investments from this government, such as $35 million in the 2021 budget for research and the framework for diabetes. I think there's more that needs to be done. This is certainly an amendment that I can support and will support. I appreciate all the work that you've done Mr. Stewart and Mr. Blaikie.
