I understand that. Basically what is needed in order to pull together some sort of database that is pan-Canadian, to pull together some kind of clearing house with that data, and to look at what we're comparing--and whether we're comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges--is some leadership from the federal part of the team .
So what I think I'm hearing is that this leadership hasn't surfaced.
I also wanted to talk to Dr. Besner and ask her a question. You stated very clearly on page 1, and I quote, that “The Health Council of Canada is particularly concerned about nine areas of health care renewal where action has been slower, less comprehensive, and less collaborative than First Ministers originally envisioned in the accords of 2003 and 2004”.
You also stated that in June 2006 the interprovincial group was disbanded. Then you went on to list the nine areas that concern you. Again, what I'm hearing is that there doesn't seem to be a commitment to the collaborative approach to the vision for moving this agenda forward that was put forward in 2003 and 2004 by provinces and the federal government .
Your Infoway goal of 50% of Canadians having a secure electronic health record, you tell me, is not on track. How far is it off track?
