In general, we gather information, validate it, and put it out for others to use. We do this for committees such as this, for similar committees in the provinces, hospitals, and professional associations, and for groups like the Wait Time Alliance. Some of the sources they cite are from the data we have put out. But the opinions expressed about the data, their evaluations of it, are their own. We are pleased that many people across the country use our data. Some people come to different conclusions using the same data, and that's understandable. We put out the information so that groups who are passionate about this topic will have facts to draw their conclusions from. We don't comment on whether or not we agree with their conclusions.
