I'll start. I'll take them in the order in which you put them.
Dr. Bennett suggested that the attention on wait times in specific areas could be having a negative impact on other areas. Indeed, information from the Canadian Institute for Health Information indicates that is not happening, that the attention on wait times in certain areas is not then extending wait times in other areas. So the information is that this is not happening.
With respect to data collection, what we did have and what we do have, I think this is one of the big advantages of starting to focus attention on a certain area. It's clear, for example, that before you had a commitment to address wait times, probably most provinces couldn't even tell you what the wait time was. There are still discussions about what the definition of a wait time in a certain area is.
So in all of the areas of health, the data are improving. The discussion and the work on just starting to measure things is improving our data and our understanding. I think that's an enormous benefit, and that is certainly going to benefit areas beyond the targets. Again, you see some of that reflected in the Wait Time Alliance report card, and if you talk to organizations such as the Canadian Institute for Health Information, they'll tell you the same thing, that the quality of data and the reproducibility of data province to province is improving with time.
In terms of provincial obligations, a number of members have noted that the provinces themselves are responsible for how they organize and deliver services. So we do see different undertakings in different provinces. A lot of that can even simply reflect demographics. The Atlantic provinces, with the more senior population, an older population, will do things differently from Alberta and British Columbia, which might have a younger population. Again, I would refer you to the Health Council for their reports by province on what's going on.
