Thank you very much for the question.
I did enjoy meeting directly, as you did, with moms and dads. We tend to create organizations and so on, but really we were talking to moms and dads and kids, and I found it just terrific that they made their trek to Ottawa to talk to us.
In terms of some of the facts and figures for the committee record, in 2005-06 about $6.6 million was committed from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research for type 1 diabetes research, and, you're quite right, for type 2 it was $11.4 million--so it was $6.6 million versus $11.4 million, type 1 versus type 2--but there was also $12.8 million for general research on diabetes and its complications, so that could have been involved generally with diabetes, of course. There's also something called the Canada Foundation for Innovation, which has spent about $27 million over the last few years supporting diabetes research infrastructure across Canada.
That's the state of it right now on the research end. Obviously we heard the case.
You and I are in this room, while over there another committee meeting is going on in another room; they're talking about the economic situation as a prelude to a budget next year, and we'll all be waiting for the budget, I'm sure.
