The Public Health Agency of Canada, Health Canada and the CIHR are part of the same portfolio, but some aspects are the responsibility of Health Canada and others of the agency. That's not a problem, but it's up to Health Canada to take a position on health in Canada.
The overall budget of the portfolio is $19 million, $3.3 million of which is allocated to the Public Health Agency of Canada for the purposes of the pan-Canadian strategy. The provinces and territories also have programs.
We want to improve collaboration in the various health-related fields that are the federal government's responsibility, in particular, the health of Aboriginal people on reserves, which is the responsibility of Health Canada.
Now I'll turn the floor over to Kathy.
