Thank you, Madam Chair.
Just to go back to some other suggestions here and to comments by my colleague Ms. Bennett, we did initially talk about several of these in the last session. I know that not everyone is aware of it, but in the overarching prescription drug strategy and study, there is the mandatory adverse reporting in that reporting, and post-market surveillance. I think we should be continuing on with that, again, in a comprehensive way, not in a piecemeal way, but in the way that was intended so that at the end of the day, hopefully, if we have enough time together with the CDR, we do have a comprehensive approach to this whole area and can really provide good ideas, suggestions, and recommendations for Canadians through Parliament. I think those do need to be coupled together. Otherwise I don't think it's going to be as effective as it could be.
I have a couple of ideas. One is the mental health strategy, or whatever it's termed now. Again, there could be one session bringing forward those who are working actively on this in the area of Alzheimer's, but not limited to that. So the mental health strategy--again, I might be using the wrong term--I know is a fairly new initiative. That's one that I would like to see us have at least one session on.
Also, the issue of health services for the armed forces, I think, is important. I'm not sure if that's now under defence and health. It might be. I think that warrants some attention by the committee, where we feel it's appropriate given our timeline.
There also is very much on the changing demographic in terms of the aging population, which everyone is discussing now--rightly so--and everything that entails. On the issue of home care in particular and the needs that are very clear before us, I believe it would be incumbent upon this committee--again, incorporating it into the list of our work for the next little while--that home care would be something very significant and beneficial for us to spend some time on. Obviously, that's something that would probably not be one session, but it would not necessarily be a long process either.
Those are the ones I'm thinking of now, but I may think of others as well.
