Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for your compelling testimony. I'm just subbing on this committee, but I'm thinking of other studies I've been involved with. I've also been involved in mental health studies. The developing brain is one thing that has been looked at in different ways. The brains of under-25-year-olds are still developing. Young people are more susceptible to different things relating to the brain, whether it be drugs, addictions or the impacts we're talking about.
Stem cell research is something that Canada is leading in. I'm very interested in the role that the Canadian government can play in facilitating conversations or setting frameworks or setting funding for CIHR or others. This has been asked in other ways today, but I'm thinking of, for instance, the cannabis legislation that we've introduced. We know that the developing brain is still not matching our legislation 100%, but we're trying to get to the 18-year-olds and younger at least with our legislation. That's an example. As well, in our most recent budget we introduced suicide prevention hotlines across Canada. So the federal government gets into those cross-jurisdictional areas where we put a framework together.
It sounds like you have a very solid framework within Ontario. This has been asked in other ways, but is it the framework that we need to look at, first of all? Is it stem cell research opportunities? Is it funding? Is it regulations on the sports equipment that has to be worn under a certain age, such as the head protection gear in boxing or in other areas where you have impacts?
